Super easy access off the interstate. Easy to book, good price, big sites, easy hookup- what else could you ask for in an overnight stop. Giving 5 stars, but considered 4 because I didn't get to see the donkeys that were in other reviews 😂 Seriously though, perfect for what we needed.

Stayed here last night and was extremely happy with the ease of getting here, checking in, and staying for the night. This is PERFECT when needing a place to stay for the night while still feeling safe. All sites are pull through and have full hookups, plus the sites are level so there’s no need to unhook. The best part was hearing the donkeys “talking” on the adjacent farm. Definitely woke me up a few times over night, but how can you get mad at a donkey?! Will definitely stay here again when traveling.

This place is great!! People complaining about the owner, he’s a nice guy! That’s how he talks, stop and talk with him you’ll find out. The park is perfect, close to everything and easy in and out. Spaces are level and lots of room between you and your neighbors. All pull through some up to over 100’. No showers or bathrooms. Quiet, clean and lots of farm animals and wildlife around. I also read on his website he races pigeons. So if you’re interested to take one with you and let it go at an agreed upon spot just ask! It was $50 a night cash or check only. The place fills up fast in the late afternoon so get there early.

We spent the night on our way back from Gulf Shores. Very simple to make a reservation with the office. The owners are very friendly and nice. It was easy to check in and pay. The sites are graveled and level. Water pressure was awesome and electric and sewer worked as they should. The owner greeted us in the morning and asked if all was good. Great location to pull in for a night of travel. Very close to the interstate for on and off routing with literally No traffic noise! Thanks for the hospitality. We will be back.

Rude. Guy advertises full hook ups year round, false. Shortly after arriving we were told no water if it gets down to 20 degrees, half hour later we're told to hurry and take a shower because it was 32 degrees and he doesn't want us using water. We ended up taking cold showers because our water in camper didn't have time to heat up in tank. No wifi at all. He charged us 50 dollars even though we couldn't use water hookup. My husband spoke to him right before check out time, and the owner asked him how it went. My husband told him he wasn't happy about the water issue, and the owner offered no compensation for it. Then he told my husband that check out time was in 15 minutes as if to tell him he needed to hurry. Side note: we were the only ones staying at the rv park. The place was vacant... We will never go back there again. Rude
