Rented a RV lot for 2 nights. Paid an extra $10 to guarantee my lot#. Got there and someone had taken my lot. Office closed. Took another lot. Next morning the manager (was very pleasant) apologized and gave my $10 back. So the guarantee is only worth the price you pay for it. I didnt complain but this is not good policy.

The campsites are absolutely miniscule. You get no space whatsoever. The lake is smelly but there are a lot of fishing spots around it. It seemed fairly well kept and the staff were super nice. It has a Meijer and had every restaurant in existence within a few blocks.

Restroom cleaned once a week. No toilet paper. Sites are not level. This is like a trailer park because most people are permanent residents or they use this to store their camper. No WiFi for 2 days because the office was closed and nobody could give me a WiFi code to use. Dirt roads, so everything was dirty.

Seems like there are a lot of full-timers here which definitely impacted the overall feel of the place. Less recreation and upkeep, more maintenance and stagnation. Staff was kind and it looked like they were trying without much direction or ambition for anything better than what it was. Site sizes were all over the place.

We were looking for one night in the area of about 50 miles for a Saturday night. Thanks to Amanda we got a site and Sunday morning on our way south. Her and husband were very hospitable and helpful when backing in our large motorhome.
