Great place to stop while passing through. The exterior grounds are beautifully maintained, and the sites are spacious with plenty of room to spread out. The WiFi connection was reliable throughout our stay, which was a big plus. My only suggestions would be for the showers and laundry area.

The exterior grounds are beautifully maintained, and the sites are spacious with plenty of room to spread out. The WiFi connection was reliable throughout our stay, which was a big plus. My only suggestions would be for the showers and laundry area. The showers, though clean and roomy, could use better ventilation—an exhaust fan would make a big difference as they tend to get a bit steamy and damp. A small bench or shelf inside would also be helpful, since there are only two hooks and no dry spot to set toiletries. The laundry room could also benefit from a little extra cleaning attention. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here. The town is small, quiet, and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing stopover. 4.5 stars!

We stayed here during Labor Day weekend. The cabin was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. Some of the other concerns reviewers mentioned did not happen for us- long time for water to get hot in shower (did not happen), hear loud mining trucks (didn't hear that many). We mostly had the windows closed and used the A/C which worked well for us. Maybe they were on vacation due to labor day... We stayed here during Labor Day weekend.

We also opted for the cabin not along the main roadside, which could make the differene. This place was conveniently located to all the activities in the Swell we wanted to go to. The customer service was also great for the few requests we had. We'd stay here again.

The staff was very accommodating. We needed a repair done and they came right over and took care of it for us. We held our family reunion here and our family really enjoyed the resort. It was central to the activities that we did. It was a very pleasant location and some of our people are even considering it for a weekend getaway.

The park, has some amenities, but the batting cadges were old, and at least a third of the time did not work. Seems more hyped up then it really was and this is not a resort. Clean showers, and overall kept up grounds.

Great location. Clean and well maintained. It is a gated RV park. Big sites with full hooks ups. It is pet friendly with two big dog runs. The cabins were small but nice and so were the teepees. Friendly staff. Plenty to do: playground, pickleball, foosball, horseshoes, corn hole, batting cages, grass area with pavilions. Its right next to a baseball field and a biking/walking pathway.
