I was very comfortable there and instantly felt at home. I spent a year there and only left because I moved to the Philippines. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay there!

Spent 5 yrs and meet some great people. Management is awful hillbillies who do t care about the park only a pay Check. Has become so run down. Bad water poor septic road are dangerous ect. Most activities are done and set up by the resident that live there. The park has no activity fund from the park all raised by 50/50 raffles. They evict people for asking questions. At least 15 people have left this year due to poor management and lack of up keep. They don't hesitate to up there prices every year and do little.

Last review is not telling the truth. We stayed there 5 years never felt comfortable management constantly yells and curses at you they do not know how to manage should definitely be fired. There's a couple of Canadians that work there that steel gas and food and then blame everybody else .they cook food and then serve leftover 3 or 4 times someone is going to get sick. Just this year alone they ran 12 full time customers off don't think owner knows what is going on.

This is a very relaxing RV park if you just want to relax. However if you can’t sit still, you can join in the many activities planned. From water aerobics in the mornings, to Pétanque several nights a week. How about two nights a week of bingo. Then there is Corn Hole if that’s your preference. Want more? Pot lucks, spaghetti dinners, dances. There is golfing and a mini putt course. All spread out in a well set up park. Sites are spacious, lots of trees throughout. Ponds. You would have to come here to enjoy it all. Oh and before I forget… there is an ice cream train. Yep a train that goes around the park you can grab an ice cream and take ride.

This is our 4th year in the park. It's gone from a beautiful family like park to a now decrepit, poorly managed, unorganized park owned by professionals who couldn't care less about it's outcome as long as the money is coming in! The rent keeps going up every year despite the lack of maintenance to roads, landscaping, water quality, sewage problems to name a few! Park manager refuses to mow the "want-to-be" golf course so a few golfers in the park are paying out of their own pockets to have a resident who owns a landscaping company to mow!!! Don't even bother trying to contact the owners! You can only speak to a secretary who will "relay your message" only to quiet you!!!!
