The entire campground is gorgeous and well maintained. Our dogs reflexive enjoyed the large dog park. Just missing one star for the unlevel lots. Otherwise its a beautiful place to stay with TONS of amenities. Prefect for families with children and pets.

Easy to find, service is excellent, bathrooms and showers are exceptionally clean. The only reason it got a 4 for location is because it is really close to I-29 lots of road noise. Not a problem, for my family but if you are light sleepers just be warned.

What a wonderful campground. It is well maintained and clean. The staff was one of the friendliest and most helpful I have ever seen. I definitely recommend this to any wanting to be close enough to great food but far enough away to get some much needed peace and relaxation.

Nice campground for an overnight stop. The campground is generally well maintained with a great staff. It's a bit off on a dirt road, but relatively easy to reach. Just a bit of constructive advice: It rained, and there seemed to be some issues with drainage. Perhaps adding some rock to raise up these areas could help. Even after 12 hours of no rain, there was still mud and standing water at my campsite.

If you have a small rig I'm sure it's delightful. Dog park is very nice. We did not use any other amenities. Do not book here if you have a coach over 34 foot. Our 37' DP is too wide and long to park, maneuver or level in their small cramped spaces. Pull thru site, i now have to back out of or end up in the tree line. Road in isn't bad it is atrocious for coach and towed vehicle, loose gravel and dirt. New dings on the jeep. Definitely a coach and car wash now required.

Basic facilities at this RV park with a convenient location close to the interstate. One of the resident geese was showing off some new goslings in the pond. The bathrooms/showers were clean, but up an unlighted hillside. Wouldn't work for someone with limitations.

Campground is nice. A few recommendations would be to asphalt the camping pads because of mud and offer some amenities for sale in the office. The campground requires campers to drive about a mile of rough, rock, and washboards. This is not ideal for someone driving a $100,000 RV and towing a $60,000 vehicle. Wi-Fi was patchy, at best so we connected to our hotspot, but the weather was dreary so that might have been the problem. The owners were very nice and welcoming. Pricing is about the same as a KOA, but definitely not up to the same standards. If you’re sensitive to traffic noise, it can be heard throughout the night. Still a good place to hang your hat for the night.

The campground was easy access from the interstate! There seemed to be a lot of long term renters. Our dogs enjoyed the large dog run. Our stay was pleasant and we would stay again

Spent one night here and everything was great. The man who took our reservation and checked us in was friendly and helpful. The site was level, fairly spacious and shaded. Hookups worked great. We took our two beagles to the dog park and also walked the wooded trail behind the pond. The campground backs to Interstate 29, but we didn’t hear much traffic noise and it was extremely easy to access the campground from the interstate. Would definitely stay again.

I am so pleased with our stay here. The hosts were accommodating and understood our need to find a cabin ASAP that night. They placed my family in an amazing cabin that created a core memory for our children! The area was clean, well-maintained, with plenty of activities to do and a spotless wash house. The bathrooms were incredibly clean, and the laundry room was well-kept. While we waited for our laundry, the kids enjoyed the lawn games provided near the wash house. The cabin we rented had a gorgeous view of the pond and its own private fire pit. It was a wonderful experience, and we can’t wait to go back!
