Cherokee Camper Park has been a part of my life since I was about 7 years old. It has always been my 2nd home. I'm 34 with kids of my own now that enjoy spending time there as well.

Not to mention the lots are all good size and it's very family friendly. Also, the managers are great people. Definitely think everyone should check it out. You may find your home away from home.

We’ve been here for years! We’ve had 3 different places out here and have loved each one as we moved around. Phillip and Vicky, property management, are great! Always attentive to any need. The lots are great, the view is great and the park has many amenities you don’t get with other parks at this price point. It’s gated, background checks ran on everyone - it’s safe!
