Stayed here for a couple days off season. It was quiet, clean, well managed and the staff polite and helpful. We will definitely come back. (Couple in 60s retired & remote worker)

This is more about the customer service of the manager. I made a mistake and booked without asking if they had a honey pot service for the no sewer. They do not have it so within minutes of booking my husband called to simply ask if they would make an acceptation of the no refunds since it was literally minutes of booking and the dates were two months away. She was so rude , told my husband to low... This is more about the customer service of the manager. I made a mistake and booked without asking if they had a honey pot service for the no sewer. They do not have it so within minutes of booking my husband called to simply ask if they would make an acceptation of the no refunds since it was literally minutes of booking and the dates were two months away. She was so rude , told my husband to lower his voice , did not try and give us an helpful options . We did not get a refund which is whatever but still very stupid. Would never recommend this place due to poor service

We booked their primitive cabin for a 2 night stay this weekend because I had to DJ a wedding 10 minutes away. The price was extremely reasonable and the website photos of the cabin looked like it could be maybe a little uncomfortable. There were 4 of us and we thought this was going to be cramped but to our surprise it was very nice. The beds were actually comfortable and the space was ample to setup a little table inside to eat and the AC was great. We did use the grill and fire pit by the picnic table as well. The bathroom was close, clean and functional. The lady on the phone LeeAnn was extremely nice and so was the gentleman who greeted us there. Very friendly folks. It was close to Rehoboth Beach and although we were not there for that, we went to the local Walmart to get supplies. We are experienced campers and been to many other campgrounds and for the price it was a good value. Nothing negative....All positive....We plan on returning for an actual vacation.

The good: very peaceful at night and they offer discounts on the Passport America list. The bad: the price is still high for what they offer. The single shower house has not very warm push button showers. The ugly: camp hosts were not friendly at all! No waving, even when we waved at them. No Hello, No smiles, just a complete lack of hospitality or warmth. Also, someone opened our trailer door w... The good: very peaceful at night and they offer discounts on the Passport America list.

No waving, even when we waved at them. No Hello, No smiles, just a complete lack of hospitality or warmth. Also, someone opened our trailer door while here, but we think they were just inebriated and it was an error.

The site wasn’t horrible, though it’s a round drive so it wasn’t the friendliest with two big trees in our lot, but not bad thankfully since we had a small camper. The ground is all sandy though and there are huge beetles. The fishing is really nice but the lake was covered in algae. The host family just looked when we drove by but never said hello or waved.

There was a friendly woman cleaning the bathroom that said she was a host, but wasn’t the same one at loop c site, so idk if they have multiple hosts here or not. The fire wood they sell at the camp store is pine. It was sappy and burned soo fast! The bait was all slimy and all the worms were dead.

Nice campground, lots of things for kids. They have a playground, a large field with a baseball backstop, a sand volleyball court and good bike riding too. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were hot. The hike around the pond was nice and they have paddle boats and I saw people with Kayaks. I enjoyed the campground.

Really nice campground, very shady and beautiful in the fall. Hardly anyone there in mid October. Sites are spacious and there’s a nice nature trail to walk around the pond. We had water and electric at our site and there is a dump station on your way out. Showers could use some updating, but otherwise we’re clean. Cell signal is 2 bars LTE with Verizon. Would stay again if in the area.
