Love love love this place for Christmas lights to the music. Over the years, they have grown and grown. Last time we went the actually had massively enlarged the entire operation. Update: they stopped doing Christmas lights. Saying here so you can look elsewhere so you won't take the trip out to be disappointed as we did. 😕

I have been a Mason since 2006. I was denied access for a two night stay (for which the camp has space) fo my 12 foot travel trader because it does not have a built-in restroom. I explained I just needed it as a sleeping area, since I was going to be gone (for a function) all day, both days, and would not require any facilities. Not too accommodating to a Traveling Man!

My family had a great time at the Christmas light show this year! Everyone that works there is so nice and the lights and lay out and set up is fantastic. To the person to submitted a 1 star review because someone yelled at you to keep moving, there are a million signs posted saying “don’t stop” so… just follow directions?!?!

Price is right for monthly stay but then if you want extra days is $45 a night. People who live there year round have too much junk around their sites making it look dumpy. Also noticed our neighbor took her big dog out to Poop and never picked up. Sites are very close together. Bathrooms were terrible , we stayed for a month and not once did I see the stalls were washed down. Same dirt and markin...

Bathrooms were terrible , we stayed for a month and not once did I see the stalls were washed down. Same dirt and markings were there when we left . Especially with COVID going on. These should be sanitized from top to bottom . Very disappointing. We left and went to EG Simmons Park in Ruskin . What a difference. ABSOLUTELY SUPER CLEAN Restrooms, Sites Roomy and CLEAN!! No garbage or junk around. Kayaking, swimming fishing, playground. Very NICE PLACE and super reasonable!! Staff Very helpful and Friendly.
