We ate breakfast at the restaurant and they don’t disappoint! My husband had the Belly Buster and boy you best be hungry if you order that but it was so good! I had a sausage egg and cheese biscuit and it was so delicious. They will cook most anything how you want it. Friendliest people that work there and the regulars were just as friendly!

Went to the bar for karaoke night. Great spot for locals and visitors who want a “small town country bar” feel. Great food, friendly employees and a welcoming, cozy atmosphere.

We are a full time RV family, and we stayed here for almost four months and absolutely loved it. Leo and Nettie have the gift of hospitality and they pour themselves into their campground. All the utilities were very reliable and safe. All of the other guests, short term or long term are extremely friendly and welcoming. The store has all kinds of products, the restaurant food and service are awesome, and the wildlife refuge has lots of beauty to explore. We weren't sure what to expect when we first arrived, but we are extremely grateful for the time we spent there.
