South 40 Camping

July 2021 - my family had a blast here in the back 40 ranch. The pool area back here has a small kid area. Another pool to play volleyball and basketball. Behind that is this water ride where you sit on an inner tube. Takes maybe 9 seconds to fly down it, through a barn and out you go. My 3 kids did it maybe 20 times in a row. Hardly a wait and that was their favorite part of our week vacation. By... July 2021 - my family had a blast here in the back 40 ranch. The pool area back here has a small kid area. Another pool to play volleyball and basketball. Behind that is this water ride where you sit on an inner tube. Takes maybe 9 seconds to fly down it, through a barn and out you go. My 3 kids did it maybe 20 times in a row. Hardly a wait and that was their favorite part of our week vacation. By the cabins there is a spot to do a shared fire. We got to know 2 other families, and that was awesome. If we had our own, we would have never talked to anyone. The only knock I had was in the cabin, the stairs need a light or something. Its pitch black and if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, good luck not falling. We left one light on all night. However, my children loved sleeping in that loft. When you check in at the main area with the water park. You leave their and go to the main road. Turn left and maybe 1/2 mile on the left is the back 40. You will see a big sign. Nice people, and we are thinking of doing it again next year. Next year I am bringing my basketball, S'mores kit, and some outdoor games the kids can play.

The Back Forty Village was shut down when we camped. My daughter enjoyed riding the horses and the crew there were amazing in hospitality. Bathrooms need attention as they were dirty and out dated. The indoor mini golf at Double JJ ranks toward the top of my list for fun and excitement. Only issue there is dress light as you feel the heat and humidity from the Waterpark.

Bathrooms need attention as they were dirty and out dated. The indoor mini golf at Double JJ ranks toward the top of my list for fun and excitement. Only issue there is dress light as you feel the heat and humidity from the Waterpark. Really think if marketing was done right, people whom stay the night on the resort would receive discounts for the water park. Also, web page needs to be updated informing guests of what is open vs closed. We don't mind paying for a resort with resort prices if the resort is open!

Pros- Clean, quiet, incredible beach set up with a really nice playground. Decent spots, although tight most were pretty nice. Really nice staff. Cons- Lack of activities in general. Wouldn't be so bad but there are no bike rentals, no putt putt etc. There are paddle boats to rent but you have to be 18. The store leaves a lot to be desired, not a great selection. No pizza or anything like that.... Pros- Clean, quiet, incredible beach set up with a really nice playground. Decent spots, although tight most were pretty nice. Really nice staff.

I'd go back for sure and by then I'd expect them to step up the amenities a bit.

Context: We have a 34’ fifth wheel. This is a RV park that is UNDER CONSTRUCTION. It is loud and muddy. There is very little mature grass, with bobcats and trucks outside the campsites all morning, and mud everywhere after they recently buried cabling. The sites have loose gravel (not packed down) and with any moisture, you sink and tear up the site just trying to back in. New trees have been pla... Context: We have a 34’ fifth wheel. This is a RV park that is UNDER CONSTRUCTION. It is loud and muddy. There is very little mature grass, with bobcats and trucks outside the campsites all morning, and mud everywhere after they recently buried cabling. The sites have loose gravel (not packed down) and with any moisture, you sink and tear up the site just trying to back in. New trees have been planted in places where any long trailer hits branches. It’s almost as if management didn’t really think through the big picture for all RVers, not just their seasonal campers.

Couple of days camping with extended family. Huge back in sites in the area we were at. The water hookup had good pressure but the water smelled like well water. All other amenities for the campers were excellent and well thought-out. The beach was nice, clean and during our time very open. The facilities were laid out well and it is obvious that some careful planning had gone into the setup there... Couple of days camping with extended family. Huge back in sites in the area we were at.

I would recommend for anyone looking for a nice place to camp with minimum hassle and lots to do.

My husband and I stayed here august through October. The staff was all very nice. It was reasonably priced. However we found the water, wifi, and laundry to be a bit problematic.

However we found the water, wifi, and laundry to be a bit problematic. The campground is on well water with iron in the water. We had to recharge our water softener every week as opposed to the month it normally lasts. We had heavy staining in our shower and toilet. And if we went longer than a week without recharging the water softener, the water stunk like eggs and decay. The wifi is good when it works. The wifi boxes on the lots are unsecured so people open the boxes, smash or pinch the fiber cable on accident, and then the wifi is out. We tried using the laundry facility on site once. Unfortunately the machines are HE front load which have to be cleaned frequently (theirs aren't) or they grow mold/sludge in the seal (theirs did). So we had to take all laundry into town for the duration of our stay. Nice campground for weekenders who don't hookup to water. Not good for long term stays.
