What an incredible little vacation spot. So clean and quiet. The owner is so unbelievably friendly and accommodating. The grounds are just beautiful. We didnt not swim in either of the lakes but they were beautiful to look at. The kids never ran out of things to do. We stayed on site 33 and it was just perfect! I wanna go back for a quick fall weekend escape!

Loved it!! Listen, if you're into RV resorts where you're packed in like sardines, you're NOT going to like this place! There's shade, a pond with a huge water slide and swing. A larger lake for boating and fishing. Miles of trails. The hosts are super friendly. 5g on Verizon was pretty good too.

This park is BEAUTIFUL. Just wish it would be taken care of better. There is a community of men staying there currently. They pee all over the bathrooms, EVEN IN THE WOMENS. The bathrooms are disgusting. The private lake is gorgeous but the goose poop has probably got that full of E-Coli. The lake only looks a foot deep because there 2+ feet of green bacteria. The pond also is full of the green sl... This park is BEAUTIFUL. Just wish it would be taken care of better. There is a community of men staying there currently.

The lake only looks a foot deep because there 2+ feet of green bacteria. The pond also is full of the green sludge. I met the campground managers Barbra and John. They are the sweetest people! John offered to help take our kayaks to the lake since it’s like a mile away. And Mrs.Barbra is just the funniest sweetheart. You can talk to her all day. Also you guys seriously need to do some advertising. My family has lived in Hale for YEARS and no one knew about this place. More costumers=more money (hopefully treat your water so no one gets necrotizing fasciitis)

Absolutely beautiful place especially if you have children! So much natural fun for the kids to immerse themselves in. The Owner and staff went above and beyond to make everything comfortable and relaxing. Tent camping definitely available! Stunning Sage Lake with inexpensive boat and kayak rentals. Pond with beach, wood raft, swing and long built in ground slide!!! Woodlands Acres is a hidden gem... Absolutely beautiful place especially if you have children!

Stayed here over Labor Day weekend. The place was amazing! The staff was super friendly and very helpful. The campgrounds, bathrooms, and other amenities were clean and kept up. The private lake was unbelievable. We will definitely be going back there.
