Great campground, water is good and clean, something we found to be a problem at larger RV Parks. Park is Beautiful and clean.
D.P.C.
Called and was told they have nice primitive campsites and a boat ramp. Booked a night, site unseen, for $80!!! Most expensive campsite of my life. I get there early Saturday to discover the boat ramp is completely weed choked and unusable. So have to trailer to a different ramp. The campsite they gave me was sandwiched tightly between RV's, with one's "stinky slinky" emptying into the ground on my site. No way, complained, and they gave me a new site, right between 2 RV's, on the main drag. NO. They won't refund my $80. I had no choice but to take the hit. This place is as crowded as a Walmart parking lot. You will not find peace. They do not have an operational boat ramp. And they're so hungry for money, they will not refund you. Steer clear of this crappy destination.

Love the peace and quiet here, and these were the views out of our camper. Highly recommend staying here. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Staff and residents are so nice. Mr. Corky, Ms. Barbara and Ms. Lori have been wonderful assisting with everything while there. The Resort is well maintained and peaceful. It's living the life of a small community and I love it there. Best RV Resort I've been to. Thank you Lake Rousseau RV Park staff for taking such good care of my daughter and my grandson during their stay there.

We can't speak highly enough about this campground! The people here, the staff here, are the friendliest we have ever experienced! We honestly felt like home, and really hated to leave. I highly recommend slip #77, which has a front and center view of Lake Rousseau. We have never seen so much wildlife in one place before either. We are definitely looking forward to returning soon.
