Poorly managed with arbitrary fees charged. Park is not a "resort", it's just an old rundown trailer park with a lot of very old park models.New management is awful.

Review of Countryside

Countryside is a park with lots of sites dedicated for seasonal travelers. Spaces are close together. This park is more than a RV Park with amenities than a rv resort. I believe of 500 sites with over half the park being cabins and pad trailers. I would say here again.

Awful

Rude staff who act like they are doing you a favor for staying there. Trash and dog poop rampant amid old permanent structures. RV dedicated spots are far fewer than the permanents; really just a glorified trailer park. Most of the amenities are still closed, and the few outdoor activities they had are very cliquish. Won’t be back and definitely can’t recommend.

Tight spaces. All activities were closed when we got here but opened up while we stayed. My husband had to carry his own toilet tissue to the men’s bathroom because they never filled the dispensers!! You pay dearly for WHAT?????? The lady who opened the door when we got here was extremely rude and acted like we were bothering her. Had to find our site with site map. They should have had someone helping to settle people in to their site. That would be nice!  Campers who are in the park are very nice.  Dog runs are outside the fence which you need a key to unlock the padlock. Never told that either when we arrived!! Water dispenser on site for drinking water, but you have to pay .30/gallon. Found a health food store that sells it for .10/gallon.
