We enjoyed our stay here. It’s not too busy, there are quite a few residents that live there long term. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We didn’t like the spots we reserved so they told us to just pick two spots and if we wanted to move to leave a note on the door. Multiple activities for kids, and the store is nice. We’ll be back!

This is a campground not hotel. Single lane road in for about a mile. Don't know what we would have done if we met another camper on road. No regular store hours, you needed to call a posted number if you needed anything, because they were in the pool with their dogs. Won't be back

When we pulled in and took a look around, we didn't even bother to check in to our reservation. This is not a campground, it's permanent residences set in an uncared for property. Their price definitely does not reflect the conditions in which you would be staying, my advice would be to book somewhere else.

My wife and I love this place. Its a convenient drive from home, pretty country, fairly clean bathrooms and showers, "depends on how busy the park is", great pool!, and awesome ponds to swim and fish in! This place is a great bang for your buck! The staff are friendly and helpful and the seasonal campers are friendly also.We found this place a year ago when we bought our first camper. We go 4-5 times a year, off and on seasons. However, this weekend, there was an issue that caused some discomfort for us. We decided to do a big family trip. While we were at the pool, one of the seasonal campers were making negative racial remarks about one of my family members. They were talking amongst their social circle, but we herd what they were saying. After that, the vibes were weird from them the rest of the trip. It was honestly a feeling of being unwelcome after that. I do not feel this will prevent us from returning, but if anything like that happens again, it will be addressed immediately and I hope action would be taken. I hope this feedback helps. -Kind Regards

An absolutely excellent campground set back in beautiful woodland. They were lovely to us when we got caught behind a bad accident and had to arrive late. The showers are also gloriously hot. The ideal camping experience.
