This campground is pretty reasonable and maintained pretty well. Also great location as it’s 15 min drive from main Lafayette where I worked as travel nurse. Mary and her husband work very hard to keep it going. The only issues we had while staying were that the water pressure was a bit low. They had us in spot 1 and that was great bc it was nice to be so close to the bathrooms and laundry room and entrance. The weekends would get a bit busy and sometimes loud bc lots of people wanted to party and enjoy their time but we didn’t really mind it. Overall a great stay and would stay again. I really like that they were willing to prorate for the month also.

Thank you we had a very nice time we will be back to camp. I will say one thing about the lighting in the bathroom/shower the timer need to be set at 30 mins instead of 10 minutes it's not safe to come out of shower wet to just turn on the sensor it is dangerous. thank you

Great little camp ground, only complaints is getting woke up by another camper that had to be the dreaded leaf blower man on Sat. morning and the golf carts parading by your camp site at night with there LED lights shining in your eyes. Over all a very nice quiet experience with clean areas and welcoming folks. PSA...make sure if you go in the fall to be aware of falling walnuts there are alot of walnut trees in some camp spots and yes they hurt when hit with one. Our Rottweiler-border collie mix 🐕 loved talking to the squirrels and they could have been possibly throwing walnuts at us lol. We will definitely be back.

We have an annual visitor pass to visit family while they camp at their yearly spot. Great people all around, clean, and safe. You feel you're away without being 100 miles from home. Access to the river if you have a boat too.

Spent Labor Day weekend at Wolfe’s. This was our first time and LOVED it! Super friendly staff and campers. We did not need to use the restrooms. Will definitely return.
