Quiet and Peaceful Spot to Camp We had a great experience camping here. The place was completely empty the night we stayed, which felt a little suspicious at first—but it actually turned out to be peaceful and safe. Once we settled in, we were really comfortable. The showers and bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quiet, low-key place to cam...

Beware of hauling a big rig out of the park if there's heavy rain... the dirt road there can be a climb and I recommend 4x4 just in case It is indeed a best kept secret! Mostly locals Although there are no spots with water, the inner circle rv spaces have some water access so bring a long hose! Best internet for an rv park, although storms can interrupt the power for hours at a time Staff are...

Mostly locals Although there are no spots with water, the inner circle rv spaces have some water access so bring a long hose! Best internet for an rv park, although storms can interrupt the power for hours at a time Staff are nice and not nice, it depends... casino staff are mostly clueless about the rv park Reserve online No refunds, Beware South side spaces are close to humming electrical wires overhead, not reccomend if you're sensitive to high voltage radiation stuff Best value ever, and many spaces have waterfront views I can't imagine anything else for the price, this place is amazing Fishing friendly, archery friendly, nice trails and so quiet

I was here on Labor Day weekend and place is nice and quiet. That's not to say that there weren't people here coming and going, but it all seem very manageable. The staff here was friendly. I was able to have an extra night without any hassle. I saw some reviews that mentioned power lines. While you can see power lines in the distance, there are no power lines over any campsites. I'd recommend... I was here on Labor Day weekend and place is nice and quiet. That's not to say that there weren't people here coming and going, but it all seem very manageable.

Wash board road to get in. No picnic table at our site. We called a month in advance to reserve the site. We asked if it was water and electric and they said no it's full hookups. We called the day before our check in and once again told full hookups. We pulled in and all we have is electric no water and no dump on our site.

We saw there was heavy rain coming in on day 2 of our stay, so we relocated to the Casino RV campground, because we read the road in can become undrivable. I wonder if the management would have advised us to move.
