My husband travels for work so we stay in a camper full time. We stayed here for 6 & 1/2 weeks. This is by far the best place we’ve stayed. The amenities (laundry, dog park, cook shack, gym, pool, etc) are all within easy walking distance from all sites and are kept super clean! The trees and ponds make it feel so relaxing and the owners/managers make you feel like family. Would definitely recomme... My husband travels for work so we stay in a camper full time.

I highly recommend this resort, Mitch and his staff are absolutely wonderful people. Ms. Jennifer, the property manager made us feel right at home. This resort is clean and well designed. They provided us with fresh yard eggs and the most delicious sausage patties I’ve ever eaten. We will definitely be back soon.

I really enjoyed our stay here and wished we had had the ability to stay longer! It was very relaxing and soothing listening to the pond fountain, and we loved riding in the paddleboat.

It was very relaxing and soothing listening to the pond fountain, and we loved riding in the paddleboat. The community kitchen hut was well-stocked with grills and other equipment, and the pool having a little table with an umbrella in it is a great idea to have some shade while swimming or hanging out. The message chair in the fitness center was heavenly. We also enjoyed saying hi to the chickens and (very chatty) ducks. :) I appreciate that the sites have connections for Internet (but we had no issues using the WiFi and it was just fine for video calls and file uploads for my job). I also liked that the sites do not have individual firepits (there is a community one by the pool), as it encourages people to come together and get to know each other. Finally, staying here felt like staying in a national park, as the night sky was so clear without lots of bright lights interfering like at many RV parks. Though we had to leave, we are looking forward to coming back (maybe next year?) and enjoying the Renaissance Festival nearby!

Mitchell and his wife have created an amazing, top-notch resort. This is the epitome of what an RV resort should be. There are over 30 RV slips, all with full hookups, free Wi-Fi, and fiber-optic internet available. There is a beautiful built-in pool with covered palapas, a fully equipped fitness room featuring weights and bikes, along with showers and a massage chair. There are also two beautiful cabins and enclosed lighted dog park, multiple lakes and trees as far as you can see.
