Staff allow permanent residents to treat seasonal campers very rude because they don’t want to lose their permanent campers. Not very clean. Doesn’t feel like a campground. Feels more like a permanent housing complex for elderly. Kids can’t be loud after the sun goes down without getting complaints.

My kids stayed there over a weekend with their friends. Both times my vehicle was out there (once myself once my friend in my car) resident campers screamed cuss words at us saying to slow down (we were going under 10 both times) When I called the campground to complain the owners were very rude and disrespectful claiming they saw me speeding and that I almost hit someone. Mind you they didn’t know the make or model of my vehicle. Very displeased and my children will not be camping there again.

First time camping here and it was a joy!! We were in A31 with our 42ft 5th wheel camper. The hosts were a lot of fun and helpful. The dogs had a good time as well. Went fishing on both lakes, and we caught a few fish. Great experience and can't wait to come back to visit.

Great stay. Wish we had more time to enjoy the area. Wonderful Campground with easy pull through for us. Back in sites seemed very doable. Would have given a 5 star if we used the available potable water or dump. Electric was awesome in the 90deg plus heat.
