The grounds were much nicer than I expected and we really enjoyed the pools, lazy river and slides. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

New concrete pads for most sites, lots of activities for the kids…..trailer rides, tie dye t shirts, bingo etc. very nice pools for warmer months. The negative- vehicles driving very fast through the park, including one delivery driver, no gate to prevent anyone from driving through the park at night, no water to the bathrooms and lots of leaves in the restroom, and long hanging branches throughout which can damage the top of Class A RV’s.

Love camping here. Stayed in a cabin and I think a little privacy is very necessary and none of the windows had any kind of shade or curtain. Super cute but keys would not unlock all the doors and the door handles were not secured almost falling out. Pay a cleaning fee and my feet were completely black 5 mins being in the cabin the dust on the air filter and vent were absolutely disgusting. Stove worked for a total of 2 mins in the middle of cooking dinner. No lifeguard on duty at the pool which is fine but absolutely ridiculous how the have two water slides and nobody monitoring at the top or bottom someone is seriously going to get injured.

From first glance this place looks nice.... but the longer you are there you can tell they just put lipstick on a pig... First, the cabin is terribly stocked... but that was manageable. But imagine my surprise when we finish taking showers our first night here and the water in the shower will not turn off.... so at midnight we had to place a call to the front desk. Shortly after two gentlemen come and after sometime they are able to get the water turned off... They say they will come back the next morning to repair the broken valve. Morning comes and we are instead told that, they will not fix the broken valve on a weekend because if someone goes wrong they will have to shut the water off to the entire campground?!?! Their solution was to call them every time we need to use the shower to turn it on and off. Obviously this is quite the inconvenience. The AC air intake looked like you could make a fur coat with the amount of dust that had collected on it. I cannot imagine what the actual filter looked like. In order to use the kayaks and pedal boats you have to give a deposit for life jackets, which was fine until we located said life jackets. They were absolutely disgusting. Old, faded, probably dry rotted, but what was even worse was the wasp nests on a couple of them. Upon that discovery we returned to the desk and let the ladies know. They seemed to not really care at all. I would hate to see anyone be stung by wasp, especially a child. The amount of golf carts zipping around this place is ridiculous. Driving the wrong way on "one way" streets, not stopping for stop signs, blaring their music, and worse blinding people with their headlights after dark. In light of all of these issues we have been waiting since Sunday for a call from a manager.... which we have never received thus the reason for this review. With as many options as they have around here for campgrounds I will definitely reconsider before I return here again.

I will give an honest review of the cabin we rented and everything else but the service thus far has been a zero out of 10. We emailed questions about our reservation and after 3 weeks with zero response we called and was told nobody checks the email just call.. we simply asked does the cabin we rented have a bbq pit. The response was if it's in the picture sure. So for the next question we had we called and I can only assume the have hired an answering service. So I got no response to my call until an answering service recorded my message and said they will send it to them and they will respond the next day. We also tried to get a golf cart rental. We will only be there from Friday from 4 pm till Sunday at 11 at checkout. The only option for the rental is Three days. Meaning Monday at 11🤯 After calling, this is the response we got. ( We don't know how to fix the error on the website. And I quote : he said if we can charge the customer 3 days at 270 why would we change the price. If we don't sell out when you check in I'll give you a discount.. I'm praying we have a great weekend but if I didn't make this a family vacation I would have cancelled this trip simply because of the customer service we have received to this point.
