Great family campground

Lots of activities for kids and teens. Teen social on Fridays to help them meet friends. Nice pool. The campground is on a hill if you have mobility issues. Many spots along the river.

Our LGBT family wouldn't stay here again

First of all, the good - we appreciated the campground being able to accommodate our last-minute reservation. The bathrooms and showers were small but nice, and my kids liked the playground. Full hookups. They also have a camp store that seemed well-stocked, and an activity room for weekly Bingo, etc.

The bad - while the long term sites were pretty, level, and relatively private, our site was definitely none of those. Very unlevel gravel and mud and very close to our neighbors. We were excited for the laundry room but they had to shut it down because of a leak, and the clothes we did wash didn't seem to come out clean. Finally, our LGBTQ family didn't feel very comfortable because of the amount of conservative paraphernalia displayed by both the owners/staff and some of the other visitors.

Overall, our family wouldn't stay here again.

Great Inexpensive place to go

Sites are nice and pretty level. “River” was nice to look at and ok to dip your feet in but very shallow. Neighbors decided movie night was important with surround sound but over all I would stay here again.

Lots of seasonal golf cart traffic and kids on bikes.

Friendly Staff

This is a great site for kids. They have a lot of great amenities for kid’s entertainment. A lot of families camped here. The staff was very helpful & friendly. My only complaint is that the sites are really close together. Kind of makes you feel like a can of sardines.

Awesome quiet weekend

Clean campsites that are well maintained. There is a newer shower/bathroom house that is well maintained and stocked! Outside of this the children spent most of the weekend in the pool!
