Extremely clean and peaceful community. We brought our grandkids with us and they had a wonderful time. Although not much to do with the kids except go swimming in pool. I'm happy I chose this location.

Full hookups with clean bathrooms and showers. Nice pool and clubhouse. Many activities, ice cream socials, card room with board games and many activities are scheduled for residents and visitors. They made us feel welcome and included us in everything. A big screen TV as well in the clubhouse.

Nice, well kept RV park. Many permanent units, but pretty much all are neat and clean. Paved interior roads. Our site was about 90' long, so plenty of room.
