I would not recommend this place. It was a complete mess as a whole. The grass on the sites was knee height, water was shooting from the pipes from the ground. For one morning the whole park’s water stopped due to a giant 4 ft water geyser shooting into the air. The amount of drama from the residents at this park was crazy. We were there for one weekend and the people were all gossiping about each... I would not recommend this place. It was a complete mess as a whole. The grass on the sites was knee height, water was shooting from the pipes from the ground. For one morning the whole park’s water stopped due to a giant 4 ft water geyser shooting into the air. The amount of drama from the residents at this park was crazy. We were there for one weekend and the people were all gossiping about each other and fighting and trying to get into everyone else’s business. Last and certainly not least, this park stole my money and will not respond to calls, voicemails, or emails. The woman at the office claimed that the card charger wasn’t working after swiping our cards 3 times. We then paid cash so we could stay there and a few days later, we were charged 3 times in addition to our cash payment. It’s been a month and they will not answer calls or emails to refund me my money that they stole.

I'm not sure how KOA called this place a holiday. But if you don't have an ATV then you don't belong here. They also treat you that way has someone took my side view mirror off my Class A motorhome while we were sleeping. We were wondering why all the better looking campsites have fences around their site the people that live there. Which was 99.9 of the people except for the residence. Dog crap a...

Dog crap all over a campsite cigarette butts broken picnic table. This place was so amazing instead of our 3-day stay we left the very next day after we pulled in that afternoon. I lost the rest of our money along with a side view mirror

What a great, out of the way place to camp. Located beside a lake, there was always a nice breeze blowing. Campsites are very large and are all pull-through, which is a nice option. Bathhouse/clubhouse is very nice and the restrooms are clean. Staff is very friendly. It's not your typical KOA, as everything is very laid back, probably because it is located in the middle of nowhere. It's one... What a great, out of the way place to camp.

It's one of those places where you go if all you want to do is camp and relax. They do have activities for children in the morning.
