My family and some friends stayed here for our first time Memorial Day weekend 2025 and were welcomed by everyone we met especially the “section 8 “crew and the owners of the campground. We are looking forward to more trips

Great camping place! Perfect for both kids and adults. Just 10 -20 minutes from multiple local grocery stores, and fun things. They have atleast 2 fun events every day, like Gelly ball, waterslide, corn hole, breakfast, ect. The pool is amazing! A little on the expensive side but worth it.

This site is amazingly well maintained and loved. The pool is the best campground pool I've seen, my youngest loved riding the mini zip line, and the evening was calm and quiet. Was introduced to a color changing fire packet that was pretty cool. Bathrooms were the cleanest facilities I've ever seen at a campground! Will definitely be back again.

The name drew us in (our son is Cole) but the entire campground will keep us coming back! For those who have read through the negative comments, the people writing them clearly didn’t follow the rules and it is evident in their complaints.

The owner is so sweet, helpful, and full of positive energy; you can tell she loves what she does! Yes, they have rules but it is so that the campground will remain a family place. It’s peaceful, pristine, and the amenities are great for families. Definitely check it out if you are a respectful camper 😉.
