The deluxe full hook-up sites were perfect. The facilities on the grounds were very well kept and clean. Close enough to downtown to walk but far enough to make for quiet evenings. Very accommodating and informative staff. Long trek from where we live, but worth it!
Came here for the first time. If you're in the original part of the park, the sites are right on top of one another with no space in between. Because these are full-service sites, your sewage hookup is right there, like no room for anything. Few sites don't have fire pits. If you go to the newer part, there are bigger sites and fire pits though. You have to bring your own which I was unaware of for the sites with no pits. There's no Lake only two swimming pools which were not the cleanest. The hot tub was filthy. The snack bar was good and reasonably priced. Camp store was very cool with anything that you needed. All of the staff was incredibly nice and very helpful. Lots of activities for the kids to keep families busy. I most likely would not come back. Not because of the staff, location or the great activities that they hosted all day but mostly cuz I wasn't a fan of the campsites themselves and having no lake to take my dog into.
Super kid friendly! Fun activities all throughout the day. Friendly staff. The cabins are so perfect for family's but warning the sleeping is VERY uncomfortable and hard so I suggest bringing padding with linen!
Very nice campground. There’s 2 pools, one indoor. We went swimming in the indoor which also has a jacuzzi. There a snack bar which also plays movies for the little ones. The rest rooms and showers were very clean. Very nice campground for children with its nice playground, pools, and biking.
Reservation site asks you to put the size of your camper, and if it has slides. We filled out the info and still couldn't put out our awning. Our neighbors were wonderful and put in their awning so we could put out our slide. Also, to the "Karen" on the golf cart who said we couldn't have a dog on a cabin site of people we were visiting, could you be any more rude. WE WILL NEVER COME BACK OR RECOMMEND THE PARK.
