Old and run down. The staff are lazy

As far as the campground goes, the ground is nice and even with fire pits and trees. But the bathrooms and showers are dirty and gross. The staff is lazy and rude. The grounds are rundown. The slides look dirty and unsafe. Over it was over priced for the experience offered.

Horrible Camping Amenities

Absolutely horrible service. They mostly cater to divers. The fire pits are full of trash, bathrooms look like they haven't been cleaned in years, and we didn't even have a picnic table at our site. We told them yesterday after we checked in and they said they would have someone bring one out. It's day two and still don't have one. Campground store employees are very rude and no help at all. We are not snobs by any means but we will never come back here. Absolutely worst place we have stayed at yet in our teardrop camper.

Great little campground. Not like other RV parks. More of a camping feel which is exactly what we wanted. We loved it.

Awesome place to visit

I've been here a couple of times for diving and hanging out with friends this place was great. They have rooms available, cabins available, RV spots, and areas to set up a tent. There are many things to do on property. Swimming, diving, water slides, swings, bike trails hiking trails, and Jeep trails.

Scuba Diving

Primarily setup around Scuba Diving. Dive shop on site. Cabins, group cabins, tents and RV sites. Although a great place, not recommended for children. A lot of cussing in the dive shop by staff. Other then that Great.
