Wish the sewer line was closer to the electric that way you wouldn’t have to stretch your hose all the way back, but otherwise this is a very nice park. It’s older but well maintain and the people that maintain it are very sociable as well as helpful.

We stayed in a RV spot and the staff was amazing. We had to change the date of our arrival about 3 times due to breaking down and they accommodated us. They stayed in touch and checked on us through the whole mess. Beautiful park and great amenities.

Everything about our stay was spot on. We arrived in the evening and they gave us details instructions on how to come. And the best route to the site by phone the afternoon before we arrived. It was clean, friendly and well run. Convenient right off the interstate. It isn't a campground that you go to have a lot of room, but the amenities well great and everything was better than expected. Very well run.

We arrived around 5:00pm to find that office hours are 10am -11:00(30?) then 1:00(30?)pm - 4:00pm. Really needed to do laundry and was happy to see that was open 24hrs. However, I didn’t have $25 in quarters to fulfill the task and there is no change machine available. The load that I did do needed hot water but the water wasn’t hot. I also needed the dryer to be hot but it was not and not everything dried properly. Upon leaving most campgrounds, I really appreciate the opportunity to grab an early morning fresh cup of coffee, but not here since they don’t open till 10am. The park is spacious with trees and grass. Right now there is a lot of mud due to construction. Not sure when the grass patches were last mowed as the weeds were plenty and the grass was long. As well, our water hose could not fit the water tap due to thread depth. Thankfully, my husband had a spare washer that he used to fill the gap. Bring spare washers!
