I lived at park about 3 years. With my 4 dogs never had a problem staff was very kind and always helpful some staff bacme friend and family

Upon arrival, you automatically are going the wrong direction according to the site map. There are codes for the bathrooms that were standing open, Although the office staff was friendly, they unfortunately couldn’t help much The computer was down, and the lady helping couldn’t see our reservation or information. She didn’t have an idea of where we were supposed to be. the pull through is so tight we had to exit the park to go the correct direction. We were given one site- switched to another site, and neither could accommodate our 37ft rig because the rows- lanes were narrow and long term renters had personal property blocking roadways. It was a disappointing experience.

Really tight if you have a big rig, and a lot of monthly folks, 2nd night we had some random woman standing at our door watering the grass as she was looking inside then proceeded to walk down the length of our RV and continue to water while standing between our truck and 5th wheel, she got my outdoor mat soaked so when we left I had to put a wet mat inside my brand new coach.... not cool then some random kids knock at my door to "borrow " tooth picks? Nope not for $50 a night never again

Reserved a specific spot and when I arrived the spot was not available, someone else was parked in it. The office was closed due to a holiday but someone (I assume she worked there or knew the manager) directed me to the camp host spot. Only had 30 amp service and the power lines over the host spot were within a few inches from the top of my RV. We were only staying one night - so it wasn't terrible but not the best park for large RV's.

Grateful we were able to stay on a monthly basis for a few months. Hookups were great. Location good. Be mindful it's tight next to working train tracks. They don't run constant and when running we weren't overwhelmed by the noise. The trains run slow. Every Wednesday there is a livestock auction that's just behind the park. You can hear the auctions and sometimes they go pretty late into the night. We were here in late winter so we didn't smell anything from the stock yards, not sure how it is on the heat of summer. The park is aging and showing wear and tear. It's advertised online as a resort. Not sure why. There's nothing extra about this park. The bath house is old and needs some repairs. The showers aren't cleaned regularly. Take your own extra towel to use for a bathmat. The office staff was always friendly and professional when I visited the office to pay.
