We lived there for a year. It was a nice place and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Stephen Granger
Good value, clean sites, and easy access. Attendants didn't seem to keep up with vacancies as they thought only 1 open when, in fact, there were 4-5 vacancies.

I WOULD GIVE 0 STARS IF I COULD Staff is horrible. Rates get raised even when the park isn't improving. Broken glass on corner but staff is more concerned with non existing rules. Very disappointing. Has a ton of potential if the MWR makes some changes. Update 4/9/25: staff is slightly better. Everything else remains the same

I stayed there with my husband a few years ago, and it was pretty clean. The laundry room had a lot of technical problems, and there was usually only one of each machine running at a time. I'm not sure why, but it's right off the gate, and there's a gas station across the way. There's also a playground and swing sets right next to it.

Front desk attitude, one of the worst attitudes experienced outside of Walmart. Trash thrown around the dumpster during business hours in full view of the front desk. No flow back pressure release (yuk). Optimized for maximum amount of RV's. Exit/ Entrance mismarked...
