Massive Dump
Place is a ripoff. Stayed here a while back. Pricy, laundry machines aren't worth a flip, nasty bathrooms, and the owner is mean as a snake. Do not reccomend. Worst RV Park I've ever been to.

This place was amazing! The only downfall was how hard it was getting in and out of the spots with such little space. Roadway needs to be a bit wider for larger campers/fifth wheels. Other than that it was beautiful.
