So, we took our 5th wheel for a shake out trip to this location. We stayed at site 11 which is a double site. It was very nice and mostly flat. Our 3 axle Riverstone got the rear passenger tire off the ground by 3/4 of an inch when the trailer leveled out. Nothing a simple 2x6 couldn't fix. The water here is very nice, calm and so much to do on it. You can jet ski, water ski, fish, kayak or whatever. The area is quiet and peaceful. Our neighbors have been very nice and we have made new friends. We love the RV lifestyle and this place is awesome. You get Water and Electric, picnic table, fire pit and a BBQ. There are bathrooms for everyone to use. Also, there is a dump station on the way out. All in all I fully see us staying here again for the beauty, peacefulness and convince. One last thing, my wife and I at all times felt safe here. I highly recommend.

Very nice park. Room enough between sites to breath. Water had risen from the current rainstorms so I was right where I wanted to be: on the water! Have a line in the water now and the catfish are stealing my worms. Good place for dry banking!

This park is amazing! The water was very clear and felt amazing. My dog Moose loved swimming and playing fetch! I recommend wearing some kind of water shoes because it is a little rocky.

Our family has been camping at Union Grove for about 30 years. We usually camp on the back side, but Sites 15-37 have been closed this year due to flooding. We lucked out and got reservations for Site 2 for Labor Day weekend. This particular site has plenty of room and an excellent view of some awesome sunrises. Your travel trailer will help to provide afternoon shade, which is a plus in the summertime. The gate attendants are wonderful people and the park host does an excellent job keeping the park clean. We enjoyed a fun and peaceful weekend with the family.
