This is a review of our experience here for a six month stay for work (Sep-Mar 2023/24). Whether anything is under the control of the owners or not, it provides information about our experience for others. Our evaluation is based on a comparison of campgrounds we have been to over the last thirty plus years. We know we agreed to the terms here, but didn't have much of a choice with other places being full and other reservations being cancelled on us prior to our arrival.
Making reservation and check in were both easy. We paid by check. We were brought to our site in a golf cart and shown all the hookups and it was explained how to get into the site easily. We had no problems with Barbara or Russ. They were very informative as to where all the necessary places were (groceries, car wash etc.) We were also given a couple of good recommendations for local restaurants. You can buy tickets and get the trolley from here.
Most sites are nice, large, and shaded. Ours had a concrete pad and we fit our 36 foot 5th wheel and 2 vehicles easily, and still had all kinds of space. The front row is all on dirt and close together, the rest of the park is spacious sites.
The park itself is nice and everyone is quiet. There are many long term and permanent rigs, but all are in pretty good shape. Convenient location for work at hospital.
You can receive mail/packages here.
Now for the drawbacks.
It is pretty expensive for a park with no amenities. There is no wifi, laundry room, shower/restroom, picnic table, fire ring, store, or dog park. Nothing. Our next campground is four hundred a month cheaper and has showers, restrooms and laundry/game room. All of our previous campgrounds at this price had pools, playgrounds, basketball and or pickleball, stores, propane, dog parks, fire rings, picnic tables, and some even free entertainment on Friday and Saturday evenings.
This is by far the loudest campground we have ever been to for road noise. The front row is 20 yards from the highway, and the second row (which we were in) is about 30 yards away. Vehicles with loud exhausts and stereos and semis all day long. There are both a police station and a fire station right down the road, so they go blasting by with sirens on average 4-6 times a day. I even joked with my wife that there were no sirens until 20 minutes into the new year. There is no attempt to quiet it, like a privacy fence or anything. I understand it may not be as bad in the back spaces.
No security measures. I know of four vehicles that were gone through while we were there (including mine). The fence doesn't surround the whole property, no controlled access, no cameras, and only one light at the entrance. I read a previous review that someone else had a problem with catching someone going through their stuff here.
Monthly stays have to maintain your own site. Mowing, raking, etc. Since it was fall/winter I did a lot of cleaning up leaves and fallen branches. Somewhere between 30-40 bags of leaves.
Large trees may be nice for shade in summer, but both of our vehicles (one brand new) ended up looking like they were in a hailstorm from the acorns falling out of the huge oaks they were parked under. The truck also had a couple of scrapes from the branches falling on it. Site 5. Not all sites have the parking directly beneath these behemoth trees.
We went ten days over six months. For the last ten days our rate was changed to where it cost seventy dollars per night. Most places have just continued those last few days at the same rate we were paying for the monthly rate.
After a while of being in Savannah we did find other campgrounds at about half the price which would have added between 10 to 30 minutes of drive time for work. We chose to not go through the hassle of packing everything up and moving. We would probably choose one of those campgrounds for two main reasons: Price and road noise.
