The Bates Motel RV
Update: We went back for another stay in 2025. It was even better. The seasonal people here are really friendly and we joined in on several of the events the campground and seasonals put on. Was super quiet again, clean, pools are nice and also super clean. Used the laundry which was $2 per load, very reasonable and the machines were well maintained. Booked again for 2026. This is now one of our go to places every year. We work from the RV and the wifi on site 80 was really fast! 2024 stay: We called last minute and they were able to get us in for a week long stay. This is very much a seasonal site place, which would usually keep us from going to it, but we found the campers here to be very friendly and the seasonal sites are well maintained and not falling apart. It's extremely quiet at night, even on the weekends. They have two well maintained pools, and onsite food and ice cream place, (open on weekends), and nice camp store. Close to downtown. They had bingo and a band while we were there, both alot of fun. There is no sewer, but they have a very easy to get to dump station. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back!

It is a decent family-owned campground. We have experienced 3 power outages, but it wasn't the campgrounds fault. They do pickup your garbage, but not always. They do not offer sewer and you have to pay extra to get your system drained. The people are nice. I do wish they offered more events, it gets boring during the week when they dont offer anything. Overall, if you're looking for a place to stay for the weekend, I'd reccomend it, but for long-term, there are better options. If you like bingo, choose here.

Family/friend group (14 families in total) have come to this campground for 10+ years, booking 2-3 weekends in a row. This past weekend was 1 of the multiple weekend stays, a “Karen” fellow neighbor camper complained about an incident and one family is now banned from the campground for life. No warning, no conversation, no second chance! 10+ years of business and support and this is what was given in return!!!!! To top it all off waited to call hours after checkout for the weekend and family had to go back to the campground to pull everything out BUT the real tip of the iceberg all power to the campsite was turned off and there was a fridge full of food!!! Also turned the water off while emptying the black tank! Thanks a lot to the KAREN who can’t mind their own business!!!

Wonderful place to stay. Our best vacation ever. We are new to campers and this place was wonderful you couldnt ask for friendlier people. I loved seeing all the kids on bikes with their friends. There was so much to do for everyone. You will not be disappointed staying here. The place is spotless. The owners take pride in their campground and it shows!!!! We cant wait to go back!!!!!
