This is not a destination. It's a place to stay only if you can't find any other place and you desperately need a partial nights sleep, but if avoidable, I still do not recommend you make that choice. We stayed here several days in a row. Local kids, related to the owners, were allowed to come play at the camp. The unsupervised kids jumped on our private hammocks and chairs stretching them out and destroying them. The camp host was informed of the situation, was understanding and tried to help, but we're not able to make it right without the support of the owners. Host turned the issue over to the owners who were on site coincidentally that day partying with their family. Owner did not come apologize, acknowledge fix or-even-try-to-fix the issue, but instead manifests an additional piece of paper (different than what we signed and different than what is posted on the website) that said we weren't supposed to tie anything to the trees. Implying that it was our fault our stuff got destroyed by their unsupervised kids running rampant. They didn't even come themselves; they sent the camp host over to do their dirty work. Our hammocks are tree friendly and we are good stewards of nature, as are most of the camping community. Their unsupervised children (not campers) are what was messing up the peace and nature and our private property. One star was for the cute basset hound pup we met the first night an the camp host who tried to do the right thing. Update: I will not be removing my review as I am positive it was here. I labeled a google pin, so that I could come back to review.

Worst experience I’ve ever had, would NOT recommend especially for a longer stay. I travel for work and before booking I called to make sure I would have a spot without any issues and to mention that it’s not my camper and that I can not move it on a short notice, when explaining that I was told that’s ok and I would have the spot for at least three months before it would have to be moved. On the second month I get a text saying my camper needs to be out in a few days because they have someone else coming in, when I mentioned the phone call we had before booking I was told they didn’t put it in their notes and I need to move. They are not accommodating and put me in a really bad situation.

This is a small & well kept campground right off the highway next to I-10. The staff was friendly, facilities were incredibly clean and the campground as a whole is well taken care of. Lots of room at the park for kids to play, dog park with bags included and a good combination of both full & partial hook-ups. We will be staying again. Thank you to the staff for the great experience!

Cute little campground off Hwy 331 - 4 miles from I-10. Convenient location. Super clean with new restrooms-(wish my bathroom at home looked like that) remodeled restrooms at other building, new gameroom and work out room. Great pull thru sites in center of park. There is no office check-in - so you just drive up to your site when you arrive. Alittle noisy during day due to being so close to hwy but super quiet at night! Will be back!

What a fantastic little place to over night or stay for a while. The location is excellent for the area. The place is so well appointed for a small park. The roads are clean and even. The real show case though were the bath houses and the "club house". The bath houses were very newly renovated and done in such pleasing style and very welcoming. The clubhouse was like a large combination living room and your teenage kids dream of a basement game room. Spacious, comfy furniture, a large screen tv, a few arcade games including a brand new air hockey table and a pool table. Just beautiful. Kudos to the owners. Also super easy "automatic check-in".
