Loved staying at Old American RV! Dana, Matt, and Theresa are so warm and friendly. We had a beautiful full hook up wooded site overlooking the river. Thanks so much!!

The area is really pretty. Beautiful place to look out on the water. RV sites are way too close to each other to be a place where it would be comfortable to hang out at the site all day. Our neighbor's awning was almost touching our slide-out. Bathrooms were clean, missing toilet paper. Staff not so friendly. Ended up leaving and going to a different KM resort.

Don't have a credit check through this company if you have no credit, it's just as bad as having bad credit. They don't care, they will just take your money. They don't care, I lost alot of money. I had to pay for 3 credit checks, just to rent a long term little space of dirt. Yes I have no credit, I pay my bills.i lived in my last house for 11yrs, 10 of those yrs was month to month. Oh and the only explanation I got was, corporate said no and that's it. They wouldn't even give me the corporate offices phone number. I'm mentally and physically disabled. I felt that wasn't right, to take our money. With no real reason but no credit.
