Great for a Weekend Getaway

I don’t normally go camping in a Tent but I feel like it’s something I want you more often, I think this place is a great place to go for the weekend with the kids.

Scum

Piles of trash, No dumpster, Swimming pool cracked and tall weeds growing in it, Broken septic system they suck it out and dump it in a on property field, Power lines not up to code, Water lines always broken, No functional bathouse Nasty, If you have any Problems you have to fix it yourself. Don't expect any security there. If you give them a security deposit don't expect to get it back. I survived there for 7 years and always fixing others problems. Doesn't deserve a Star at all. ADIOS, I will NEVER RETURN!

I’d skip it

Hodgepodge mix of tent sites and long term motor homes on a creek which is nice . Owner is strange and will yell at clients blaming them of chopping down trees when they haven’t or other false claims.
