This is more of a work rv park. Alot of people staying here for work I think. Location was nice. People were nice. Down side no firepit at your campsite. Showers are nice and clean. Over all nice place to stay. This isn't a hotel lol.

The owner and staff have been incredibly accommodating and helpful as we got to know our camper. We camped here for our first outing with our travel trailer. They helped us get set up, gave us tips, and provided a list of service providers. This campground is super clean, well kept, and quiet.

So we stayed here for our 1st camping experience in July. 2024. Small pool, lots are tight together. Owners seemed really nice until we tried to rebook! We had asked them if it would be OK for the family to come for a cookout(14 of us) and they were fine with that. We were not loud or roudy and NOT drinking alcohol . I get sunstroke very easily and will slowly pass out. Blood pressure tanks. and I... So we stayed here for our 1st camping experience in July. 2024. Small pool, lots are tight together. Owners seemed really nice until we tried to rebook! We had asked them if it would be OK for the family to come for a cookout(14 of us) and they were fine with that. We were not loud or roudy and NOT drinking alcohol . I get sunstroke very easily and will slowly pass out. Blood pressure tanks. and I lay down till it passes..We assumed all was well after the incident and they made us sign some release form because of it. When we tried to rebook, we were told we had been drinking and partying and were banned. We had No alcohol and we're respectful. We will have nothing good to say about this place

Camping fees are equivalent to the very high-end RV resorts that we've enjoyed over the years since 1998. It's the only game in town, and they know they can charge. Very narrow and twisted roads in this little park, so prepare to unhook your tow car regardless of having a pull through site or not. You'll be instructed to unhook at check-in.

It's the only game in town, and they know they can charge. Very narrow and twisted roads in this little park, so prepare to unhook your tow car regardless of having a pull through site or not. You'll be instructed to unhook at check-in. Theirs constantly so-called park security / retirees riding around at night pointing a flashlight at you while walking to the restrooms or to the dog path. The surrounding neighborhoods are sketchy at best, so maybe they have their reasons for being overzealous. We arrived home and discovered items missing from our coach bedroom. They allowed campers to set up a small bumper pull camper and attach 3 large tents all attached to their camper, extending into other camp sites. These people stayed up all night, in and out of their camper, slamming doors, drunkenness, music, lights flashing, arguments... I'll keep driving next time.

My family spent a week here in June and loved it. Very friendly staff, great amenities and close to many attractions, shops etc. The other residents were very nice as well and my kids loved the game room. One caution - ask to not be in spot 68. That was the only downside. It's off in a back corner on a shared spot with a fifth wheel for sale and it feels a bit isolated back there. But again, fanta...
