Customer Reviews
Large spacious campground. Bathrooms are well maintained. But don't upset the management! Step out of line and they'll be on you. I wish that I could attach the phone message we received. It was very harsh and rude. We will not return to this campground.
This was our first time in the area. The campground was recommended by friends. We loved staying and had NO issues. It is a very nice campground compared to others we have visited in the state. It has great sized lots, so you don’t feel crowded. There is extra room for parking if needed. The space was nice & level so it made for an easy set up. There is a cement patio area with your picnic table and a fire pit. Most lots are full hook up. Pool was an added plus for swimming with kids. Bathrooms/showers were clean & well kept. Staff was helpful with any questions we had. There is a gas station near by as well as the bike trail. Staff also offered us another spot near our friends when it became available. We plan to stay there again and definitely recommend to others!!
Worst campground we have been to in the past 5 years of owning a camper. The point of camping is for a moment to break away from the norms of society and all the rules and regulations we live by and get out in nature and relax....you will not find that here as management is extremely rude and on a huge power trip and will micro manage your entire stay if you don't abide by their over zealous set of rules. They might as well state that it's a semi retirement home for 50 yrs and older only to deter families, NOT family friendly park that includes dogs, management yelled at my kids for riding electric scooters, no kids at the playground as soon as the sun sets, lady is literally standing on the office balcony strictly enforcing that every night, was also screamed at and threatened to be kicked out for dogs playing with neighbors dogs. Worst was upon our departure I decided to talk to the manager to see what the problem seemed to be and she just talked over me the whole time and yelled and argued back. also right behind a gas station off busy road so very noisey. Would not recommend ! unless your one of them weird old campers that goes to a campground to just sit in your camper and watch TV all weekend.
Great Campground, staff are very accommodating, clean site. Very Happy with our stay!!😊🔥!
Nice campground located close to all the activities we like to do. We love the full hook-ups, swimming pool, and great people in the office!
Lots of shade trees! Nicely planned lots, plus ample parking, nice bathrooms with VERY clean showers, nice play area for children.
Very nice campground. Nice size lots, so you don’t feel crowded when using the picnic table. Gravel parking spaces that were nice & level. Cement patio area with picnic table. Lots of trees so patio areas were shaded at least part of each day. Very clean & well kept, and staff was always ready to help or answer questions. We plan to stay there again.
