Very nice new owners. Seem to be doing all the right business decisions. They might want to get rid of some old junk rv's and clean up the sites they sit on.

What an amazing place. 👏 The perfect balance of camping to get away and also feeling like you are in a 90s neighborhood. We were welcomed in as if we had been coming there since it opened. The people are overwhelmingly welcoming. They had live entertainment and a free bbq on Saturday. The store had so many little things you might have forgotten and they were the same price as a Walmart. Most of the time when a place is out of way they charge a butt load but not here. They also had beautiful reasonable priced sweatshirts and pants for a warm goodie to take home. The sights were beautiful. It was easy to hook up. I will definitely be coming back for years to come. Thank you.

Poorly laid out, should've made back in spots along the back of the property so you can sit and enjoy the forest instead of staring at moblie homes. Not great for big rigs in my opinion. You are sardined between trees and moblie homes. So it feels like you are parked in someones backyard with the rest of their junk. Our slides were inches from trees and the only space we had to hangout outside was a pinic table on broken up concrete. No cell service as stated on the website and the wifi only works if you are standing outside of the front office. There's a large playground but that's the only "resort" amenity i saw. Should've done more research before booking here.

Seems to be a nice campground with cabins also. Our 1 night stay in a 2 bedroom cabin was good. Clean, good TV reception, and good internet. Out in the country. Plan on staying more than a night to enjoy the peace and quiet in September.
