We were here for 3 weeks and had an overall good stay, no issue with hookups. We were hoping the 2 hot tubs would still be running but they look to have been down for quite some time. Pool also closed but understandable. We enjoyed the pickleball courts, and walks through the paved campground. But-- be prepared for bugs! Flies, stinkbugs, ladybugs, and most unfortunately - bees.

We enjoyed the pickleball courts, and walks through the paved campground. But-- be prepared for bugs! Flies, stinkbugs, ladybugs, and most unfortunately - bees. Sadly this hindered our full potential to enjoy the outdoors at our site.

Nice campground and the seasonal campers are friendly and inviting. Definitely a place to return to. Only issue was the power. Mine and one of the neighbors kept going out. Had to reset the breaker twice. The third time I used my adapter and plugged into the 50 amp outlet. My brother tried plugging into the 50 amp outlet (His unit requires it) and the breaker wouldn't set. The park personnel fixed... Nice campground and the seasonal campers are friendly and inviting.

The park personnel fixed it and all was well. They may want to follow up on the note I left at the desk. Either way, I'd recommend the park to a friend.

This is an RV/ tent camping, so I did not give stars for rooms. This was the first time there. They have done a lot of work on the place. Friendly employees, they are very nice. and an easy hook-up for the sights. There are many permanent spots. Everyone there is super friendly. Our dog was in heaven. Great time had by all.

This place was very nice with some minor issues. We were stung by bees the entire weekend. Some of us dozens of times over the course of 4 days. There wasn't a safe place in the entire park from them. We went the second week of October. The park was clean and the staff pretty friendly. Was disappointed we were told that the tent campers will not be allowed back for the 2026 season. The reason we w... This place was very nice with some minor issues. We were stung by bees the entire weekend. Some of us dozens of times over the course of 4 days. There wasn't a safe place in the entire park from them. We went the second week of October. The park was clean and the staff pretty friendly. Was disappointed we were told that the tent campers will not be allowed back for the 2026 season. The reason we were told is because "Tent Campers are generally messier" That's hilarious considering all of our sites were spotless when we pulled away and mostly all the RV and pop ups that were near us left 3-4 garbage bags each at the side of the road when the dumpsters were literally a 15 second drive or a 2 minute walk to reach them. They did offer a ton of kids / family activities for the holiday season. Trick or treat trail and hay rides. Haunted house......Oh....the haunted house......it was nice but was so close to our campsite and after 11pm they still had some moaning zombie track playing so loud that no one could sleep. Park is dog friendly which is sort of awesome. Some people had a yorkie killed by another dog one of the nights we were there. It was pretty awful. I recommend bringing well behaved dogs and keeping them leashed and attended too. Overall I wanted to give the place a better score but between the bee swarms and the fact that they don't want us cleanly tent campers any more I guess my review is sufficient. I hope that the park changes its policies and understands how many less visitors they will have. I wish them all the best and hope any of you who visit don't wake the evil from the Ancient BEEurialground lol.

Review is asking questions as if hotel. We had a camper at one of the temporary sites. Very nice. Easy to reserve, check in, check out, good campsite with water and electric hookups in good location... great experience.
