We booked this site in an app and when we got there it was not at all what the app showed it to be. The app showed grass and cement and a nice place. This places is dust and has sticker bushes all over. It also had dogs roaming around without leashes. It was not safe for our dogs at all. The only saving grace was the people were very nice and friendly. Might be ok for a quick stop but wouldn't sug...

This RV park is more of a long term park, and people who are doing construction and well work in the area. The few RV spaces are dirt, no trees, table or cover. The dumpster was over flowing and the stickers do not make it dog friendly. Did not use the WI-FI or bathroom facilities. Stayed one night and left early morning.

Nice place for a one night stopover. Although the sites are very close to each other, the campground was clean and generally quite with limited truck noise from a nearby road. Camp host was extremely friendly and helpful. Many sites have full-time residents, but this was not an issue for our one night stay.

Park is nothing more than a caliche parking lot with hookups. No trees and no grass. Almost deserted while I was there. If you like windy, dirty, gritty and paying to much, you’ll like it here.

Don't bring your pets here. One word - cockleburs! They are everywhere and little to no grass. Took 2 hours to cut out the stickers from our three westies. Otherwise our pad was level and the hookups worked fine. A place to spend the night just passing through.

First off, this is not a camp site, this is an RV/Boat storage facility. Good place to store vehicles with ok prices but it has good security.

This park is amazing and the people are some of the kindest people I have ever met. After 5 months, I sadly sd goodbye to go travel. But I look forward to coming back this fall! Neighbors help neighbors here and we take care of each other. I have never felt so safe at any other park. Amy and Greg are the BEST!

I full-timed at Central RV Park for nearly two years and can honestly say I was pleased with every bit of it! From the outset, during setup, I made a bonehead mistake and Greg was there to bail me out. Greg and Amy are excellent hosts and do what they can to make their guests feel welcome by communicating regularly of upcoming farmers market dates, setting up coffee donut socials and bringing in...

Greg and Amy are excellent hosts and do what they can to make their guests feel welcome by communicating regularly of upcoming farmers market dates, setting up coffee donut socials and bringing in food trucks for delicious meals each month. I had a great stay and if ever in need again would come back here in a a heartbeat!

It's definitely a nice RV park. They had part-timers and full-timers. All of the services were well-maintained and easy to reach. My site was level and even had a small tree. It's very dog friendly with a huge dog park at the back of the property that my dogs loved running around in. They even have donated toys. Saturday morning, they had coffee and donuts, which included kolaches, breakfast tacos... It's definitely a nice RV park. They had part-timers and full-timers.

We'll definitely be back!

Very relaxed, quiet rv park with great management. Greg and Amy were exceptional. Even on their days off they responded in a timely manner to emails. The neighbors are all friendly and they have frequent gatherings such as potlucks and food trucks. The laundry room and bathhouse are clean and well organized. You can even pay for laundry with an app...so no need for quarters. There is a very convenient on-site propane refill. The park is centrally located and close to any amenity you could ask for even though you are far from the noise and bustle of the urban areas. The only sounds you hear are the distant howls of coyotes and crows of roosters. Each site is large with ample room between neighbors and the gravel drains very well in the rain. I have truly enjoyed my time here and will come back if another travel assignment calls my name.
