This is a long term mobile home park. NOT a campground. After making reservations and responding to an email asking our arrival time everything went wrong on arrival. The signage for the campground leads you into a dead end, very tight turn around. Not easy for a 40 ft coach.

After making reservations and responding to an email asking our arrival time everything went wrong on arrival. The signage for the campground leads you into a dead end, very tight turn around. Not easy for a 40 ft coach. Calling the contact number after failing to find any office or help on site got us to a woman who would respond but repeatedly said that she was 30 minutes away. That she “did not know that we were coming in today”. We were assigned spaces 112 and 113 on line. No spaces are marked. We are told to find an open space, that there should be two that would accommodate us. We were directed to an area right off the highway, trees not trimmed to accommodate 12’ coach height and nestled between trees that would make it very difficult to back in. This was by far the worst experience arriving at a “campground” that we have ever experienced.

This campground was wonderful the staff was nice and they always kept everything clean including the laundry room. The monthly rate was very very reasonable. I’m talking under $500 for full hookups with space between other RVs, everyone has their own trash bins and mailbox. I didn’t want to leave but had to move back to Va. You won’t be disappointed but keep in mind there is no playground or bathh... This campground was wonderful the staff was nice and they always kept everything clean including the laundry room.

I didn’t want to leave but had to move back to Va. You won’t be disappointed but keep in mind there is no playground or bathhouse but I was ok with that.. Thanks for having us we all enjoyed living there.

Great campground, good people, and very affordable prices. I brought my 21' 30 AMP camper in the middle of July and pulled out in the middle of August (I travel for work) and they worked with me all the way. Comfortable distance from Washington, NC and Greenville
