Overall a good place for rvers

The little old lady that owns the place does her best to keep up with the place. Bought equipment and hires help to do the work around the place. Shes a little old school but if you give her the time and sit and talk with her youll know her intent. Been here a week and happy so far. The price is 600 a month, full hook up, the water is clean, cell service is 1-2 bars for att phone, enough to run my hotspot and stream movies and facetime, location is just outside yuppyville and close to everything. Id say give it a shot to someone looking

Weird

We stayed here for a weekend getaway several years ago. It was a weird experience. May have changed since then.

It’s mostly permanent sites and sort of had a trailer-park feel to it. The residents didn’t seem fond of us being there.

Bathrooms weren’t great. Front office looked like a hoarder lived there.
