Not flashy, but 100% complete, comfortable, and satisfying, especially in that there were many shade trees. Our campsite, as looked to be the same for virtually all of them, was mildly challenging to get our 40’ motorhome onto it and positioned well. But once done, the site was very nice. I’d absolutely stay here again.

Stayed here a week. I have a Coast to Coast membership that i paid $12,000 for but at this location, i still had to pay fees. Not sure what for. Place is as basic as they come and they have more rules than a Christian school. Says they have WiFi but could get my phone or tablet to work the whole time here. I was 4 sites from the main building. Save your money unless you like square dancing. Never again. I promise you that!!!

Customer Service is horrible. We had an incident with our window being shattered by the campgrounds maintenance person. First off, the first thing that came out of Lindsay (the office persons) mouth was you signed a form releasing us from any incidentals. Then only apology I was received was due to the maintenance man's attitude. Second, no one came over to check to be sure everything was ok. Didn't offer anything. We had a one year old child who was having to sit outside our camper because he couldn't go inside due to the glass. I asked for a shop vac and at first the maintenance man said "let me go ask the boss". I then had to call back to see if I could get one so my one year old could crawl around in his camper. Lindsay advised me it was broken. Which with the way everything else had gone, I didn't believe for a second. Skip to today, it was been over a week later and I'm just now writing this because I wanted to think it over and do the right thing. Neither my husband nor I were rude to them. I then called today to get a copy of the form I signed for our insurance company. Then told Lindsay I tried to shake off how our situation was handled but I just couldn't. I feel as though they didn't care. We weren't even asking for them to pay for it. Just a simple, I'm sorry what I can do to help? They saw I had a one year old child. My conversation, today, with Lindsay turned into an argument. I expressed to her I didn't feel it was handled the right way. During this conversation, she told me they didn't have a shop vac after she told me before it was broken. One of the last things Lindsay told me, was "I was the only one in the office, we couldn't just stop our jobs and go gawk at your camper". Nobody was asking for to "gawk" at our camper, all I wanted was some help. And I got zero. I don't ever write reviews and we have gone to this campground before. They worked with us on our site and were very friendly with that, but if something goes wrong expect for zero responsibility to be taken. I would stay away if it was me. I know we won't be back, unfortunately. Also, the pool is very dirty. They had someone there working on it constantly, so I'm guessing the pump wasn't working effectively. I hate this experience happened and have liked it every other time we've been there, but when my one year is having to suffer for their mishap due to zero responsibility taken, it brings the frustration out. The campground is well kept for the most part and is nice, but Lindsay, the office staff, doesn't need to be a customer service position. Response below from Lindsay just reiterated what I said. Zero responsibility and just the blame game. Well done proving my point. You had zero intentions on helping us. I shouldn’t have to respond to your email, it should have been handled properly at the time. And yes I wrote a review to save others from the same happening to them.

We were there for a Square Dance week and rented one of their Park Models. The grounds were always kept clean, mowed, and blown. Lots of games for families. Located along Jonathon Creek it was a nice place to walk our dog.

We loved this campground. It was beautifully decorated for the Fourth of July. We had a wonderful experience . Very clean very beautiful with lots of amenities. We loved the food and staff at the café. We were there with family staying next to us in The cabins. The kids loved the pool, the putt putt, golf, and being able to see the Minecraft movie at the outdoor theater. Our favorite was tubing down the river/Creek behind the campground. The cabins were great, clean and Cozy. No oven but stove, microwave, Mini fridge and coffee maker were all we needed. We look forward to staying here again next summer
