Last minute. we needed a place to stay for a couple of weeks while electricity was being added to our new home. Jimmy got back to us the same day and had a spot for us and our trailer. Super friendly and accommodating and the campground was quiet and had great views of Lake Juniper. Will always go back.

My granddaughter and I just spent 3 nights here. The park is small and beautiful. The grounds are manicured with each site having plants, trees and ours had flowers. The bath house was exceptionally clean. The lake and the sunsets are beautiful!!! Ms Lola was so helpful and nice. She made sure we were settled and comfortable. Great place near local springs.

A very quiet and serene place to stay. The lake is gorgeous and the folks are friendly. Not the typical action packed rv park, but everything you need for a low-key getaway. Showers, tolits, washer/dryer, a dump staton, electricity, portable water, Wi-Fi, a dock on the water and nice shady sites. We will definitely stay again when we are this way.

This campground has been an unexpected surprise as it is small and most guests are longer term. When I called to make a reservation a few days before my need the manager was very helpful and friendly. She had one available spot for my weeks stay and it was all set... She called me later that day to say that the agreed upon spot was unfortunately not going to available. I was disappointed but un...

She called me later that day to say that the agreed upon spot was unfortunately not going to available. I was disappointed but understood. She then told me that she had another vacancy for me as the previous travelers had left that morning. This new spot was on the edge of the campground, was a pull through, and offered me a lake side location and much privacy. The campground is quiet; the nearby restrooms and showers are spotlessly clean with ample hot water; very rustic little place with tall southern pines throughout; good cell phone coverage; shopping within 6 miles for supplies; the grounds are well kept and neat. This spot did not have a sewer hookup but did have good water and electric hookups and with the shower so near it has not been an inconvenience with no sewer hookup. Nice place and it will go in my list of favorites.

Very quite surrounded by trees with freshwater spring to view out my trailer windows. Bathrooms clean, nice strong shower, and clean laundry facilities. Dan and Lola are very pleasant and helpful people. We were happy to stay here and will return if in this area again.
