Terrible. Rates went up and activities and amenities went down. The guy smoking on his cigarette constantly is so rude. He drives around in his cart yelling at people. He told my kids they needed an adult at the pool. I have an 18 year old who is a certified Lifeguard. When I told him that, he said 'rules are rules' . They place has gone down hill and so had their customer service. Don't waste u... Terrible. Rates went up and activities and amenities went down.

The people in the office were so very nice. The campground is pretty, clean and lovely. Unfortunately, we were not able to explore because the rain just never stopped - from our arrival to our departure. But this park is a keeper for sure. Also, extra bonus points for the most entertaining list of rules ever!

Located out of town but close enough to ride your bike into St Cloud. This is a nice and well maintained campground, with lots available for tents, cabin rentals, and full RV hook ups for small to large RV's. They have everything, clean showers and restrooms, a kids playground, a swimming pool, a campstore and a nice laundry are among the amenities.

I am a repeat visitor to this resort. The team was great in finding me a spot with a little shade. The one thing that keeps me from giving a 5-star review is there is consistency with loud machine use during the day and well into the evening-circular saw usage past 7 pm several times during my short stay. The landscaping also runs multiple days per week for several hours again into the evenings. V... I am a repeat visitor to this resort. The team was great in finding me a spot with a little shade.

Convenient location for easy, low key camping. All sites have a campfire ring and picnic table. Grounds are well maintained. The swimming pool is well kept, too, and refreshing. Swimming area has reclining beach chairs, swivel chairs, and tables with umbrellas. So helpful during the past few 90+ degree days. Sites are mostly drive through and electric/water/sewer hookups available if needed. Two s... Convenient location for easy, low key camping. All sites have a campfire ring and picnic table.
