I will give it 2 stars because of the amenities they had for my boys to do while we were there. The guy who showed us to our campsite couldn't tell us where restrooms where. He thought he knew where some were but didnt know if they were locked or not so we would just have to go find out. Seeing as to how we were tent camping that was vital information to know. According to their website there were no scheduled activities. Apparently every weekend at 930pm they do a golf cart parade that consists of loud train and air horns for over 30 mins. Since it isn't summer anymore they didn't see the need to put it on the activities list because it is just tradition. Then the worst part was when packing up the people 2 campsites over didnt have their dog on a leash the whole time they were there. Then their dog proceeded to chase my 7 year old up a hill and back to our campsite. Since us and the people with the dog were both renting there is nothing they can do. So now I have a 7 year old who is afraid of dogs even more than he already was. The office did not seem concerned at all. We will not be going back which is a shame because my boys enjoyed the amenities they had. Also it is a trailer park they advertise it for camping but its not. It is permanent residence summer place.

it was a good campground, just not my vibe. lots of trailers there that people keep there year round and it felt like i was camping in a trailer park. there were SOO many wasps. Closest bathroom was a 5 minute walk from our tent but the bathroom was out of toilet paper 2+ days. There was a big beautiful lake Not very nature like..

Had such a a great experience, people are so friendly, the pools were a great way to cool off , everything was reasonable priced. I think we have found our home away from home.

What a great weekend, beautiful OVER filled park, but it was 4th of July weekend it's to be expected. This isn't a place to camp to have peace that's for sure, golf carts galore, no speed limit enforcement what's so ever, any one and everyone is allowed to drive carts at a dangerous speed!! Kids everywhere it's a accident waiting to happen. Pool was refreshing.
