This park is amazing, and we can't wait to come back. After our booked hotel room fell through on the busiest week of the year (BBR!), I called and asked about a spot for our camper. They had a full hookup site available for an amazing price. The staff was super friendly and helpful....even holding on to our rug that had blown away earlier in the day. Centrally located, we would recommend 100% and is now our official BBR lodging choice. Thank you for saving our trip!!

What a great place and it all startes with Roberta! She helped us immensely when we broke down and couldn't get here in time. When we did get here we regretted not being here earlier. Spacious sites, with some grass, 4 dog park areas, easy in and out, quiet, no road noise and super clean! If your traveling up or down 93, this is the place to stay.
