Staff was very friendly.. bathrooms clean, pool clean ,nice sitting area .And near plenty of parks and water to enjoy

Place is a ripoff. Stayed here a while back. Pricy, laundry machines aren't worth a flip, nasty bathrooms, and the owner is mean as a snake. Do not reccomend. Worst RV Park I've ever been to.
Leann
This place was amazing! The only downfall was how hard it was getting in and out of the spots with such little space. Roadway needs to be a bit wider for larger campers/fifth wheels. Other than that it was beautiful.

The person who checked us in was curt. Our spot given us was not the one my husband requested. She became agitated when he said we had to have a different one. She raised her voice at me when I told her this was not what we needed. When he called to make the reservation, my husband explained that we had been there before and that he was blind in one eye, so he requested a site that was easier for him and since we were doing an overnightstay, one that was long enough so we didn't have to unhook. The lady said...no problem. But the site given us was a problem. The sewage line was in the middle, ours is at the end...we were only staying overnight (last year we stayed a week)...we would have had to unhook to stay in that sight, and we were not going to do that. We were given a more suitable site...under duress. NOTE: We have been camping 20+ years and have never had to change a reserved site...unless we requested it and as long as it didn't cause additional problems. The reservation was made by Kenneth McIntyre.

This is an excellent location choice for us. The park is clean, and quiet. Everything we need is within a short drive at most. ALL employees are very helpful and cordial. This has exceeded our expectations. We came in for a trial basis and have just fallen love with this park and wouldn't dream of relocating. My husband is in a wheelchair....the handicapped accommodations are perfect for us. With both of us retired we have a lot of time in our hands, this area has quite a biy available. If your looking for a short or long stay don't pass this by!!!!

We have been staying at the park for a little over 5 weeks now. Everything has been perfect from day one, neighbors have been nice, laundry and pool in great condition. Stephanie has been absolutely amazing. She’s made the stay so easy and flawless for us. I have extended our stay a few times and she’s always in the office ready to help when I need it.

The pool and bath house (bathroom and showers) were clean. A room with pay laundry machines is attached to the bath house (2 washers and 3 dryers ). There is a small swimming pool. The pool/water is clear. There is an apparatus with seat and extendible arm to lower someone into the pool. Available sites include 30 amp OR 50 amp electric, water and sewer. Some sites are pull-through. There is parking for one vehicle at each site. Cable is also included but you have to ask for a cable box at check-in. You need to have your own coax cable to connect your RV to cable. The cable box includes ac adaptor and HDMI cable
