This place is wonderful, pet friendly, restaurant on grounds and other amenities. The lake is currently super low due to the county running water down from the dam which damaged the natural flow of water. It's still beautiful and natural.

Not so much a resort as it is a long term RV park renting to mostly permanent residents. It's set in a beautiful area & the monthly rent is reasonable. Why am I giving you a decent review? Very good question. And it's only been 2 years which was about when I did this review. Your point?

The only reason they get three is because the staff was friendly and tried to help. Sardines wow you all know what I mean! The whole time we where there power never stopped surging! I would love to see the owner clean things up a little more ground wise. The little restaurant on the grounds would be really cool to visit for coffee and breakfast, just have it for the mornings to meet other guests...

Great place to stay! My wife and I have been here for about two weeks and have loved the quietness and the beautiful outdoors! The management here is friendly and makes an effort to remember who you are and help you if you ever need it! Very friendly and helpful! Great area to stay in! Surrounded by beautiful hills and green country (it had just rained).
