Wow. Their bathrooms are cleaner than most hospitals i've seen! You can tell that the people who work there take pride in keeping the place well maintained. So friendly and helpful, too! Pool is small but clean. Definitely the best rv park in the Carthage area. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

This is an older campground but pretty well maintained. Front of the park, sites are smaller, shorter and roads are concrete. Back of park is the big rig area and sites are long and wide. Roads here are gravel. All pads are concrete. Our only gripe is that the hookups are at the end of the pad. In order to hook up we had to be far enough back that we had to unhook our car so it wouldn't hang out into the road. We don't have satellite so we're very pleased with the cable TV. Very nice dog walk area. The clubhouse building has a recreation room, a kitchen, laundry and restrooms. We will stay here again when in the area.

I needed a place to stay overnight. Torrential rains had slowed me down. Very convenient, just off the highway but I did not hear any highway noise at night. Person checking me in was great. Very helpful. Sites are large with long (90') concrete pads. I did not have to unhook. 12' wide seems to be the standard but a little wider would be nice since trailer with slide outs are 12'. Without a pad for a picnic table or chairs it doesn't leave much room. Rec center, laundry, rest rooms and showers. All appeared very clean. As everywhere in the area, very wet in the grassy areas. Roadways were good. A little pricier than I prefer but so much better than the place down the road that was cheaper. Good Sam helped. I would recommend and I would return if I needed a place to stop while traveling.

Nice place, friendly staff, level site. Easy to get to, great place for a one night stop. Rec room looked nice. Small pool, but would be great for kids. My site was quiet, half way into the park away from the street. Some shade would be a big improvement.

Most expensive place in the area, no refunds and when you know you won’t be staying all month, they will not let you pay weekly. The manager was a very rude little red headed man. The group staying with us all agreed that he had no business running a rv park because he was not friendly or helpful at all. Ruined our vacation, I will start trusting the reviews more often before visiting parks.

This is a great campground. Concrete level slabs. A lot of room between each site. Staff is very friendly. Will definitely stay here again.
