Great stay to have a base camp for exploring the area! Very clean campground. Restrooms were extremely clean every time I went in. Nice multipurpose room with tables and board games. Very large dog park, one of the larger ones that we have seen at a campground. It had a little playground more for the younger ages but we were not at the campground except mornings and evenings so it was enough for our kids. Appreciated that it was quiet, but didn’t feel unwelcoming with our kids. We would stay here again!

Your park is very nice. It is clean and quite. Far enough off of the hwy there was no extra noise. Thanks for a nice stay.

I would have gone 5 stars due to the nice facility and friendly staff.... except was taken aback That the showers required payment in quarters like a do it yourself car wash... imagine my surprise as my naked self reached over to turn on the water to realize I did not bring quarters to the shower with my shampoo! We've been to a lot of campgrounds in the last 6 years and I've never been asked to pay for a shower after paying a fee for the campground!

Nice location and very clean. Had a bad experience with pay shower, 5 quarters gets you 7.5 minutes, but it took 2.5 for water to warm up and seemed to shut off early. Guess bring extra quarters so you are not stuck needing to rinse.

If I could give just 5 stars for the management I would. The manager is so kind, solves problems, the park is soooo clean. She tried to her best to keeps us by the playground since we have a small child. She is very welcoming and for her alone, she has made it the best rv park we have stayed in. Our family cried as we had to leave the access to the train tracks and river is awesome to walk the dogs. The cost of laundry is great and the machines are always SOOOOO clean. For the owners, you should allow fires and if long term guests have to leave due to work and have been there over 3 months, I definitely think its fair to give them a prorated refund. And put some speed bumps in around the playground areas! What a lovely park
