It’s our second year coming here and In general we had a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed a lot , but Maintenance in the facilities are up so date. showers and bathrooms have ceiling falling ( last year they were the same),and one shower was not working( got our coins). The pond has a big rock in the bottom under the big inflatable were the people jump in, 2 of our crew gutted the rock with their feet, it’s a hazard. One our kids got a lichen in their skin and saw a turtle swimming in the pond. Almost every single chair in the pond was broken and we couldn’t use. Would be nice if you are staying in the campground and all the activities are included in the price, $17 for daily/person to use the pool and pond for someone is paying to stay there it’s too much. That added $65 dollars/day in our stay(=$137.00/day), that’s is the same price of Kamp dells. Resuming, I think for the price you pay ( stay and whist bands) we should have better and cleaner facilities.

We had a great first stay at the campground! Staff was friendly and so were the campers. Plenty of things to do for all ages. We floated down the river and swam at the lagoon. Kids enjoyed the jumping balloon and going for a walk around the campground. The seasonal campers were friendly. I would go again and if you're looking for a nice campground this is one of them.

My wife and I tented. The sites were nice, right on the river with some shade. Tubing down the river was fun, the blue pond was great also. Could use more bathrooms and free showers with the amount of camp sites there. Great time though

My family of 6 frequents campgrounds and try to go to different ones every year. This one had all the things we find important: activities for the kids, especially water parks, swimming pools. Jumping pillow, playgrounds, themed weekends. Upon check in we find out you have to pay extra for those things. Like $25 a person. The owner says its on the website but it isn't clear at all. Assuming that was the price people paid to come for the day, because that's what most campgrounds are like. The showers are pay to use. And there's only one building of 3 for each gender. This was shocking. I've never paid for showers at a campground. Not only that but that is the only bank of bathrooms and our camper was so far away. This campground is large and the bathrooms are a room they need major improvement. Yes, there's porta pottys all over but they were full and disgusting. They need more frequent pumping. The pool was nice and clean but had a weird smell. The lagoon was just kind of gross and it closed way too early. The water stained my swimming suit. And it also had a weird smell. My kids loved the inflatables so that was a plus. The only thing that was a plus all around was the river by our campsite. We had a sandy beach to sit and play long after the lagoon closed. And it was so hot the weekend we went. The site itself was large and flat but rocky. The tree we had at our site was dropping these furry caterpillars all over. It was a nice shady spot. Fire pits are small. The only activities I saw was carnival games on Saturday morning. For as large of campground as it is there's only one dump station. For the cost this campground isn't worth it in my opinion.
