I had to cancel my reservation. They do not give you your money back. You get a credit to use the park. Being from Arizona i can't really use a credit. It is also non transferable. So if you know for sure life isn't going to change in 60 days don't don't make reservations. Really socks. Lost $105. That's alot for a park with no wifi or cell coverage.

Very nice park with great amenities. Please know that cellular signals can be nonexistent for some carriers (Verizon) and the WiFi is not that great. We camped in our RV, so I do not have any info on the cabins.

Our site was flooded our entire stay, the bathrooms were not cleaned once (same items on floor and mud on floor) from Sunday till Tuesday. The WiFi was turned off on Sunday at 4:30pm and not partially turned back on till Tuesday at 1:12pm. There is no cell service unless you drive to the office so all work or emergency’s have to wait till you drive to the camp office. There were several camp host and park staff driving around in the park, but there focus is on other non customer service/support activities. If I could give lower than 1 star I would

Not many people are here but beautiful park. Staff friendly. But campsite is a mess beer cans burnt in fire ring n trash also and the internet is not working. Restrooms clean. Shower house by our loop only has cold water. Paid a lot got not much. And pool is 8 dollars a person. Yah. I see now why middle of summer beautiful park but hardly anyone is here!

We stopped here with 2 other couples for a couple of nights on our way from Maryland to Kentucky. We stayed in the full hookup section due to the hot weather and wanting to run our air conditioners on 50 amp service. Loved TJ’s section but wished we could have stayed on one of the waterfront sites. They are so beautiful. Beautiful campground with large sites, wifi on every corner, nice camp store, game room, disc golf, pool, boating, canoe, kayak and paddle boat rentals! Great for biking, hiking, fishing. We are already planning to come back with our camping group in the fall! Road to get in is pretty winding with a hair pin curve or 2 and road is caving in on edges in some places. So take it slow and easy. But once your there is a wonderful campground! Forgot to take some photos!
