.very nice RV PARK. my only complaint is cutting grass after 3pm is not a good time when people are trying to enjoy the out doors grilling and trying to enjoy the quiet. Very rude & inconsiderate of your quest.

Stayed in a loft cabin for a trip to the dunes. The property was fantastic, well cared for and all very nice amenities.

Greeted for our stay with a quick overview of the layout of the campground with a nice map and location called out for our stay. Playground equipment was fairly new, and they were working on adding wood chips for safety. Some areas of chips around the playground we're getting thin, so kudos on the upkeep. Pool was clean and well secured, kids had a lot of fun relaxing in that. Great shallow pool for toddlers, our two year old loved it. Nice to have an option for the younger kids. The cabin itself was not bad. Great porch area and picnic tables for every cabin. Fully stock kitchen with plates, cups, stove, fridge/freezer, microwave. Some door handles were a bit loose and the loft carpet was not vacuumed prior to our stay. I'm sure it's hard to get proper equipment up there. Some of the lights switches were not operating 100% of the time. Central air was very nice,

The silver lake sun retreat campground was very nice! We stayed in a one bedroom cottage and it had bunk beds in the hallway along with a full kitchen. The pool was very nice and heated. The jumping pillow and basketball courts were nice as well. Less than ten minutes to beach and restaurants.
