This little RV park is perfect for long timers, quick stays and workers. Free showers on site, coin laundry and is beautifully treed on the RV side. There are motel rooms as well but we stay in our RV. You are super close to drive to everything in town and a 35 minute walk down the maintained path to the Brewery ;) Jim and Vera care so much about this place and it shows. They are very helpful and friendly.

It’s an ok rv park, and great for people needing a full time spot, but I prefer rv parks that balance full time and nightly stays. The owner/ managers and very friendly and they take good care of the common areas.

I have stayed at the wild duck with my RV for two seasons now off and on for work, Jim and his Wife have been nothing but amazing, great to talk to always willing to do something if you need it, the prices are great and the sites are always super clean and well maintained. They have onsite laundry facility’s along with showers and bathrooms if needed. I would recommend them to anyone that asks
