We travel full time, and this was an okay campground. When we visited in October it seemed to be mostly residents and seasonal guests, which is fine by us, it just was an average campground. We were all the way in the back in the FHU area, and it was a long walk to the playground (which our kids enjoyed). I'd recommend it for a short stay.

A beautiful place, 2 ponds with fountains and a large swimming pool, game room, and very nice people. Mostly long-term, but a few overnight spots. We called at 6:00 p.m., but got a spot without sewer.

I have NOTHING but great things to say about this camp ground. The permanent campers were so friendly… I actually got lost in the campground walking back from one of the ponds, didn’t have my cell phone or a map and someone gladly walked me back to our camper. I think the bathroom and shower house was clean… it’s definitely just an average shower house but nothing wrong with that! there are plenty of things to do with kids and even for adults. The pool was a little too cold for us, but it was just filled and opened so I can’t complain there. The only complaint I can say and it wasn’t the parks fault, our neighbor camper pulled way too far over and it was really close quarters for us… but it all worked out. The ladies at the desk were so kind and helpful. As it was our first year with an actual camper and not just a popup. I also think the rates are reasonable. But it is safe to say we will definitely be visiting this campground again this summer.

Cute place, mostly seasonal spots. We were in a 50amp FHU pull thru for one night. Had a fire ring and picnic table. We bought some wood from the office. Water pressure was really low as was the amperage on power pole. Our progressive kept tripping, even with nothing really on (121 on leg 1, 105 on leg 2). For $60/night, I’d expect to have decent water and electric. Pretty tight getting out but doable. We camped in a 43’ fifth wheel.
