Cool little campground. Class A, and big rig friendly. The cave is currently closed due to a cave-in . There is an Indian conference tree that is interesting. St Joe river runs right through the campground with multiple public access points. There is a huge recreation center with an arcade and a few other activities. Part of the Thousand Trails. Has laundry, bathrooms and showers. Staff is super friendly.

They have a water leak they're not fixing in DAYSq, so campers shave to boil water. They have pads that are lower than the height of the dump station AND the cave, which literally exists is CLOSED.... other than thatI we think it's a fine place, the staff and people are nice. Yeah, they have some real work to do. And Bear Cave, please start providing wi fi for free, it's ridiculous. A very cool race track just a half mile or mile toward Buchanon

No sewer hookup, the sites were mostly dirt/ sand. Looks like it has potential, needs an influx of professional maintenance, not handyman quick fixes.

So much to investigate in the cave and interesting artifacts, photos, etc after you walk through. Wear the hard hat they give you, bumped my head a few times! The resort is well run by nice people.

We loved everything about this Thousand Trails Campground!!! We parked on a level grassy site that accommodated our Class A perfectly with full hookup. We had the typical fire ring and picnic table, but that's all that's typical. The sparkling clean swimming pool was always at the perfect temperature. There was a nicely stocked camp store. The very best part of this campground are the beautiful trails, the fascinating cave with small waterfall, and also the boat landing area that is so very peaceful to listen to wildbirds and watch boats on the St. Jo River. Our grandkids loved the great arcade room w full sized air hockey, Skee-Ball, several driving games, and a pinball machine. All were $.50. The dirt road into the campground was well groomed, plenty wide for RV's both ways and we felt safe with the code activated gate. It works well day or nite. We saw reviews talking about all the seasonal camper. We met several of them who have been there for 15 years or more... they are there because it's such a wonderful place!!! It's first come, first served to find a campsite... if you don't care for your site, you can change once during your stay. We stayed for 18 days and will be back.
