I just stayed at this campground over memorial day weekend for the first time. It was very nice, the shower room was nice and clean, and the store was not what I expected it to be. It was awesome set up for a camp store. Many different options to choose from. Upon arrival the ladies in the office were very friendly and welcoming and answered all my questions. Thank you for a great stay.

Beautiful campground. Very, very peaceful. Everyone that worked there was very kind & helpful. I loved my 2 weeks there. My only reason for 4 stars isn't even their fault really. The place is situated around wetlands, and even though the campground itself was beautiful. The mosquitos were horrible. I don't mean just a normal bad, they would swarm you the minute you stepped outside. I sprayed myself, had several tiki torches, and other types of mosquito repellent, and still would have clouds of them everywhere. In the campgrounds defense, it had been very rainy and the area is wetlands, and it's nature. So I get it. Great place with big trees and 2 little ponds, 1 for fishing the other for swimming, even clean shoers/bathrooms, with very nice laundry room. I would stay again, but at a dryer time of year, and be more prepared for the little blood suckers. 😂

Loved the atmosphere! The Karaoke was amazing! Live band was awesome! The swimming pond was a little less desirable than the pictures. There was no arcade. And a few of the fishing docks were death traps. Other than the couple hiccups it was a great stay!

Grew up coming here but alot has changed. The playground is nice and also another small one in the back by the rustic. Great to keep my kid occupied. They have a basketball court, putt putt golf, and random activities for kids and adults. The bathrooms are nice, upgraded, clean, hot water, and smell good. There are 2. The showers have nice hot water and decent pressure. They also have 2 laundry rooms on sites and fairly priced. All in all it's a nice place and we will be back. I tried to write another review but I can't figure it out. However my husband and I left another review with his email. We returned this past weekend and I'm so glad we did. Our family and friends and kids all had a great time. The fireworks show was awesome guys, thank you. The band was great! My kids and I had a blast dancing and the baby loved the lights. Lol I got to do the wagon ride with my daughter to bring back the memories of being a kid and coming here and doing these same activities 22 years later!! We look forward to coming back and making many more memories!! The ladies in the office, yall are wonderful, so sweet and helpful. Everyone is literally treated like family. It's a really is a great atmosphere!

I havent been here in years but our family used to do something called "grandma camping" lots of great memories here. I think about returning and camping a lot, some of my best childhood memories come from this campground.

Bathrooms aren't remodeled. Not enough hot water. Not very clean either. Was charged extra on my debit card just for using it, wasn't informed until I got home and looked at my account, called and they said it's policy.. no signs never was told either. No fire ring. When inquired about one they said just look around for an empty site and grab it yourself. Do not recommend this campground at all.

Had a beautiful weekend besides the Jamboree, we had to leave at night due to the unruly crowd however management did an excellent job at keeping it at bay, for that you deserve more than 5 stars. I can imagine the hard work you and the staff went through as I sat and watched quite a bit of what was happening and it was uncalled for no staff member should have been pushed as I see the little blonde get twice. I can fully appreciate the no generators after the 3 young men at faster horses. Even though you may have had a handful of bad reviews please don’t let that get you down. The oaks is an amazing place for families.

Great little campground! Very friendly staff. Very cute camp store filled with ice cream and goodies. Biscuits and gravy for breakfast was awesome! Had a great time for the Jamboree.

Very cute campground. Fishing pond, swimming pond, park, Pavillion area and public restrooms/showers. $2/adult for visitor pass. They had wagon rides for kids and today offered bingo for the adults. Plenty of trees for shade.
