Excellent customer service! We were able to book campsites on the same day over the phone. She allowed us to pick out a site and we chose the one closest to the bathroom. The park is connected to an amusement park. There are nice trails to walk the dogs and the pond to see wildlife. The only negative would be the lots are in the full sun. Shady trees would be nice. Also the lots were not paved.

From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and clearly takes pride in keeping the place welcoming and organized. The swimming pond was a huge hit with our family. It’s beautifully maintained, and the sandy beach was spotless — perfect for relaxing while the kids splashed around. There are also so many fun, affordable (and even free!) activities for the kids: from donut decorating and ice cream socials, to water balloon fights, relay races, and even a dunk tank! The Gaga ball pit and other games kept them busy and having a blast the whole time. The bathroom/shower house — super clean, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. It really makes a difference when you’re camping to have a clean and comfortable place to freshen up. And of course, we can’t forget the train ride to Little Amerricka! It was such a fun and unique bonus — both riding the train and just watching it go by brought smiles to everyone's faces. Overall, this campground is a fantastic family destination. Clean, safe, fun, and full of thoughtful touches. We’ll definitely be back again — and recommending it to all our friends!

Happy to be back at Whistle Stop with new management/owner. As snowbirds we have stayed in many facilities and this is one of our favs. Definitely a family atmosphere with attention to cleanliness and friendliness. This is our third visit and we will certainly return.

This is truly a hidden gem, the place is very clean and well maintained. The sites are plenty large for any type of camper or rv you can bring, with full water and sewer hookups and 50 amp electric service. Most sites are pull through! Now let's talk about the campground, the swimming pond is excellent, featuring floating climbing attractions, clean water, sand beach and plenty of beach chairs and Shade canopies. They always have plenty of well planned daily activities for families and children. Speaking of activities, the blinky train is a must, for an additional $5 per person you can embark on a 20-30 minute night ride on the onsite train but dont forget your glow sticks and neon! The staff is very friendly and accommodating, offering on site delivery of pizza, firewood and many other conveniences. Highly, highly recommend this place, we have been to campgrounds all over the country and we return to this place every year many times.
