A bring-your-own-room resort
Spent the weekend with the grandkids and loved it! So many activities and the water park was amazing. We brought the trailer and stayed in a elite site. Also paid to reserve a specific spot.
The elite spots are spaced out more and have paved patios with propane fire pits and Adirondack chairs. Spots are level and make set-up easy.
PROS: Lots of activities; Dog park; Well stocked store; Lots of “comfort stations”; 2 different pool options; Restaurant with bar
CONS: Road noise; Train noise; lots of cars driving around (not super safe for kids biking); the place is huge and walking from place to place is tiring
I recommend you reserve a golf cart. It is easier (and safer) to get to all of the activities. (You also won’t have an 8 year old begging for one all weekend.) They are usually sold out on weekends.
I also recommend reserving a cabana if you’ll be spending time at the water park. Seating and sun cover is at a premium and are staked out early.
Lastly, check out the events before you arrive to be sure you don’t miss anything for the more craft-minded kids.
We have already reserved again for next year…and I reserved both golf cart and cabana. I am angling for grandma of the year.
UPDATE 6/2022: can now confirm that golf carts and cabanas are the way to go! Stayed at site 256. Paved and easy access. Just show up in daylight to save your marriage.
