They always charge you "Family Rates", doesn't matter if you're alone. Price 26$ + TAX with a tent and without electric. The shower and toilets are really run-down. If you have a barking dog you have to leave. I'm wondering why the also noisy animals that are kept here are still here. The positive: Nice old trees that give shadow in the summer.

Horrible place!! I was homeless a few times and Lived here 3 times. Once in 2000, once in 2002 and once in 2003 . all times over a yr . Anita is horrible. As the owner she has horrible manners. Always has her favorites and they can do anything they want but make sure you do nothing wrong. Animals are allowed to run free and are not penned up , all but the Emu and Horses. She is always drunk and if you ask for her for any help expect attitude. I brought in lots of business for her or a few years ...my friends coming in to go camping and spend time with me. Drunks all over the place. A few years ago a 2 yr old drowned in the stream right behind the camp, they still havent put up a fence of any kind and they blame the parents. I know the parents and they turned around for a sec to grab food off a picnic table and the kid was gone. Almost a half mile of shoreline straight into the water. The bathrooms have always been nasty( bring a breathing mask) the mold is enough to gag ya. And they haven't updated the shower since I was there in 2000. Your luck if ya get your toilet pumped! Also be prepared for the smell of animal feces as peacocks , cats and chickens are allowed to run free.

Bathrooms are like a Nazi gas chamber. For $460 a month they could at least pump the sewer weekly (they say they do it 3 times a week) in the past 2 weeks they have pumped it one time. They don't mow any of it. We mowed the vacant lot next to us to try to reduce the amount of bugs. Then a camper pulls in there and plugs into the same power outlet as us. The power is $60/month for the past 2 months. Sounds a little much for a tiny truck camper. Looking for elsewhere to stay. Would rather camp on the side of a road. Definitely not a family campground. Stray cats that are not friendly everywhere!

The bathrooms smelt as if someone died. very rude service at the office and too many personal questions as if they looked at my social media. Harassment when I thought camping was supposed to be fun and peaceful. All of management was drunk and mean.

It's ok if you just are staying for a few days, but we stayed months the electric there is bad in the summer it keepers popping main breakers. Your electric for a month is extremely high. The road coming in to the park and around the park is rough tons of pot holes. They tell you about all these rules and enforce none. Could be nice park if they would stick money back into it. We only stayed so long because it is the only year round camp ground around.
