After riding my motorcycle in full gear in 90° heat the last thing you want is to walk into a hot room. After placing a reservation you'd think the staff would turn on the AC before I got there. The picture shows where you check in at!

We’re in the RV park. Public bathrooms are bit dated, but clean and it is lovely here. It’s got so much land, a gorgeous pond to fish and a beaver family to watch. Everyone has been kind and friendly. What a difference from the last place we were at. Definitely avoid Moon River in Cadiz. Our dog has room to run and fetch. I know our month here will fly by! Dollar General and food giant along with fast food is 8 minutes away down the road. It’s so peaceful and tranquil here. Surprised it’s not busier as it’s right off the highway too. Definitely a hidden gem. Update: we ended up here for 2 months sorting medical ! Everyone is lovely, kind and helpful. Manager is a helpful, nice guy who always answers his phone. Lots of permanent and long termers, with a few shorter stays. I don’t know why the negative reviews exist. If you want high end KOA then pay for a KOA. There’s families here and it’s clean and everything works. It’s a great deal for the price. Yes, some cats are free to roam the campgrounds, but there’s zero pests here and they are friendly cats. You could winterize with hay here and never see a mouse! One camper gave us a 22 lb bag of Friskies cat food his didn’t like. Truly kind folks here. We have felt safe here for 2 months.

Let’s start with what we found good here. The hookups are solid, power, water and septic all worked well. Most sites had a concrete patio, be it they have been there quite a while. Monte, the manager always answered the phone and was responsive. The price was great at $35 per night even on Labor Day. We booked a week out and it was the only place we could find a spot. Now for the rest. If you don’t have an onboard shower I would NOT recommend coming here, the bathhouses are pretty gross. There was a shattered bottle in the grass right beside our pad. Monte texted us the Wi-Fi but we could never even find it to log on and we were in the middle of the campground. There was a mix of transients, long stays and some units that have or will be there forever. In summary if you’re looking for a base of operations to be mobile from, this place works, it you’re looking for a campground to hang out in during the time you are in the Grand Rivers area, you might want to consider other campgrounds.

Do NOT use this campground for an overnight stop! The spaces were fine although most of the campers are there permanently and some for a long time. Then came the bathrooms...The men's room had one functional toilet, one was removed with just a hole in the floor and the ceiling had fallen in over the showers with the light wiring just dangling. I think they are just letting entropy do its work until there is nothing left. Again, DO NOT stop at this campground.
