We came here as a family to camp while visiting the water park, and it was a great experience overall! The campground was clean, well maintained, and very easy to navigate. There were plenty of staff driving around on golf carts, so it always felt like help was nearby if needed. Our kids brought their scooters and had an absolute blast riding around the campground, which made the trip even more enjoyable for them. One of the best parts was being within easy walking distance of the water park, so we didn’t have to worry about driving or parking. Since we visited during the summer, the mosquitoes and flies were definitely out, so I highly recommend bringing a bug zapper, citronella candles, or plenty of bug spray. Other than the bugs, we had a wonderful stay. It’s a nice campground with a family-friendly atmosphere, and we would definitely come back for another camping trip!

Really enjoyed this campground, site 49 was large and plenty room and privacy. The only negative was the dip, I saw so many folks drag their rv across this dip including me. 3 mile bike trail took me along the lake. Overall great campground

This is not a campground 52 sites you must be at the office door on January 2 of the year you want to book oh spend night in a bag chair might give you a spot. The other 200 plus sites are live aboard sites. This is a RV long term place don't waste your time

Nice basic campground with full hookups. Two-thirds or more of the sites are for long-term stays, but at least all short-term sites are grouped together in loop A. Office, camp store, and laundry are all central. Shower houses were dated but clean.

This campground is one of the nicest places to visit. The only thing that has recently changed is it is very noisy. Every morning at 5:30a.m. They clean the pickle ball courts with a blower. It will ECHO across the campground. Then if they decided to cut wood with a chain saw. Well that is loud too. It may happen morning hours as well. So, if you think you are going to sleep in, thank again at this location. You will also hear cars racing around 1 am sometimes 2 am. It is not legal racing. The staff is very helpful and nice. Most of them live at the campground. They have a lot of activities during the year that are free to participate in. Come join the fun at the Waterpark. It is just walking distance. Tennis courts and pickle ball. No pool on sight. No internet. That is very misleading. Fishing is in walking distance. Golfing is next door. Walking trails are very nice. They even have a putting range you can walk to. A lot available without the need to drive around everywhere.
