A low-key RV Park with good size pull through sites and full 50 amps hookups. Dog park with an area of fencing missing. It's not glamorous, but good for an overnight stay or 2. The person answering the phone was great! If you're a Veteran, they offer a Veteran discount. I would recommend if you're looking for a low cost, no frills place to stay.

Way too expensive for an overnight stay, but we didn't have much to choose from. The highway and a train very close by so not a restful night . $95 was quite unreasonable for what you get. Do not recommend unless you are desperate.

My husband and I were just passing through for the night and needed a place to park our truck camper. The lady I reserved the spot with on the phone was very kind and accommodating. It is right next to the highway so there is quite a bit of rode noise but that doesn’t bother us. They are dog friendly however our spot was full of goat heads and I could barely walk my dog around without him getting them in his paws. All in all it was a place for us to stop for the night but I don’t think I would stay if longer then that.

Update: There arent photos of the bathroom in the VRBO listing but the cabin DOES have its own bathroom and it is very modern and has a huge shower (no tub). Managers were responsive and home was spotless. Everything that was needed was in the home. Nice fluffy towels and the mattress was so comfy. (New, soft yet firm foam mattress.) The noise from the highway that others have mentioned was very very faint and not an issue. There is a fan setting on the minisplit IF youre extremely sensitive to the highway sound. But living in town would be louder than the faint sounds here. We couldn't find the tv remote and it looks like you'd need Roku to watch anything at all, but that wasn't an issue for us so we didnt ask. Kitchen was well stocked. The only advice we could suggest is maybe a light over the bathroom mirror and a hook and eye to catch the gap on the bathroom door? But those were such minor things and the stay was "100% will rent again!" We hope you develop more cabins!

Perfect for a night passing through the area! A little bit of road noise but that’s to be expected right off of the highway. Sharon, the owner was so nice and friendly. We were able to arrive later in the evening and she had us all set up! We will definitely use again if we need to.
