This campground is conveniently located 1 mi off of freeway. We had a huge pull thru site, no need to unhook 44' toyhauler. Definitely big rig friendly. Easy in and out. Full hook ups. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place! Easy access off interstate! Amazing and friendly staff! Have stayed a few times just passing through the area. They made check-easy even when rolling in late. We will be staying here again! Highly recommend!

It’s a very nice campground. The people in the office are extremely nice and for the most part they will guide you to your spot. There is plenty of room.

There is plenty of room. Our spot was very long and easily accommodated our fifth wheel and truck. They do have showers and a laundry room. The only issue with the laundry is there’s only four washers and four dryers. It seems like they should have more for the number of people that can stay here. When we were here, two of the washers were out of order. At night there is a very little road noise. Now and again you can hear a train whistle, but it is in the distance so it’s not very loud.

The Wi-Fi is sporadic at best. The service at check in was excellent. My issue is that even though there were more empty spaces on our row than occupied ones, they still placed us in between 2 other RV’s. These are not normal spaces. There are 2 together sharing utilities. This means on one side, you are face to face with your neighbors so if you want to sit outside, you are also sitting in... The Wi-Fi is sporadic at best.

These are not normal spaces. There are 2 together sharing utilities. This means on one side, you are face to face with your neighbors so if you want to sit outside, you are also sitting in their front yard and your picnic tables are close together. On the other side, you can reach out and touch your neighbors as they are in the same spot. This is okay if there wasn’t empty spaces everywhere. It wasn’t a great way to enjoy your spot and the beautiful weather we had while there. Just placing everyone in their own spot when you are not busy would have made it a much more pleasant experience. The park itself is nice.

Partially flooded in late March, it is a nice community park with a good display honoring local veterans.
