We have been coming here for 10 years and we will not be back. The staff is rude, driving around on their golf carts just looking for something to scold you about. We have never been yelled at more for literally nothing ever. The staff used to be friendly they are rude and honestly very aggressive in speaking to their guests. A friend of ours came to visit he pulled into the campground and was boxed in by two golf carts and they were literally screaming at him to slow down. He was going 7 MPH and literally just pulled in off the main road and was slowing to drive the campground and got boxed in and screamed at literally screaming in his face. We will not be back after 10 years not sure what is going on here but these golf cart police are terrible.

We had a large group there this weekend and felt harassed by the "security" guys. They were at our site repeatedly for thee most ridiculous reasons. All the adults are 40+. My husband is 73, and he even came after us. Most generally we like staying there, this weekend, not so much!

I have stayed here two times. Once this summer and once last summer and absolutely loved this campground both times and will be back next year. We took the kids to the pool, played at the park, enjoyed the beach, danced and enjoyed karoke. Definitely a fun and family oriented campground. Really enjoyed it! Some of my favorite memories are at this campground now.

215 SHOULD NOT be a site. There is barely room for 1 tent and a picnic table. Your tent will have to be 2 feet from the road.There is a very bright street light shining in your tent ALL night long. Strangers will be on your site and crossing site(fishing)nonstop.

Stayed there for 4 days, camp site was nice, but the pool area needed to be washed down or cleaned. I asked and I know of 3 other people asked when then would clean it. The staff said they knew it needed it but never did it. Still that way when we left.
