From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how well-organized and friendly the staff is. They made check-in seamless and gave me a detailed overview of the park’s amenities and rules. The RV sites are spacious, level, and well-maintained. Each site offers full hookups, including water, electricity, and sewage, which has made living here very convenient. I especially love the privacy between the sites—it feels like I have my own little space, but still within a friendly community of fellow RVers. The park itself is beautifully landscaped, with a variety of trees and greenery, making it feel like a peaceful retreat. The roads are well-paved, making it easy to navigate the park, even with a larger rig. Camp VIP has fantastic amenities, including a clean, well-maintained bathhouse and laundry facility. One of the highlights for me has been the sense of community here. There are plenty of long-term residents, and it’s easy to get to know people. Everyone is friendly, respectful, and makes an effort to create a positive, welcoming environment. I also really appreciate the park's pet-friendly policy—there’s a well-maintained dog park where my dog can run around, and the trails nearby are perfect for our daily walks. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Camp VIP is conveniently located near lots of local attractions, but it still feels like a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle. I also appreciate that the park has a small store where I can pick up essentials like snacks, propane, and firewood. I highly recommend Camp VIP to anyone looking for a great place to stay for a month or longer. The staff is friendly, the facilities are excellent, and the atmosphere is peaceful and inviting. It truly feels like a VIP experience!

Very nice campground, lots of trees, pull thrus and back in spots for small and large rv's. Laundry, playground, hot tub, pool, and a few cabins for rent as well. Folks in the office are very nice and helpful. Its also right next to the fairgrounds and the airport parking is not to far either.

Park itself is nice, amenities are good. They need to do a WAY BETTER job of enforcing the quiet hours though. Too many nights after 11, people are loudly listening to music, drinking, not realizing they're less than 10 feet away from their neighbors (or not caring) Here's a recommendation, patrol the park at quiet time.

If you see people violating, warn them. patrol again 30 minutes later. If they are still offending tell them they will be removed from the park. If you warn them once and they continue to do it, they care about no one but themselves and shouldn't be welcome in the park.
