ScoutStayed in cabin 4 last year got are alive. Stayed in cabin 1 this year and got bit worse. This year looks like bed bugs
ScoutVery clean nice place to stay. Friendly ppl, camp hosts are very helpful
ScoutNot a safe environment for children. The little man at the desk is ok with it too, he claims he kicked us all out but my video I took when confronting him on the situation differs. He also keeps deleting reviews and replying back with blatant lies. If you read through the negative reviews you can see he can’t admit when he’s wrong, it’s always everyone else who’s wrong. I don’t want money back from this joke of a campground and I don’t care what the owner has to say. What I want is to save everyone else from wasting a perfectly good camping trip on a trashy place. It was so bad we DECIDED on our own to leave and camp elsewhere. Aside from the sketchy seasonal campers, the amenities also are trash. The pond is all muck, sites are water and electric only with dirt pads. I have never seen such a hillbilly set up. The pool is ok. Dump station was probably my favorite amenity, dumping our tanks to leave that place! But even that is set up at the entrance so when dumping you can block the incoming campers. I will never be back to this place, let me verify with the video I took, WE WERE NOT KICKED OUT. We left on our own because our CHILDREN DID NOT FEEL SAFE!

ScoutNice sites with some shaded. Majority of the campground are seasonal. The indoor pool is great but both stalls didn’t have TP and look like they haven’t been cleaned in a long time. Listed as a resort I expected bathrooms to be cleaner. Was hoping to stay here but left after seeing the showers in the main bathhouse.
ScoutThe staff is super friendly, helpful. I enjoyed staying at this camp. The only negative point is that there are not many lots with full hookup. Everything is 10 minutes away.
TravelerGreat place open during the week can be full on weekends. Near a road though so a bit of noise from cars. Bathrooms and showers are nice and clean.
ScoutIt's a nice campground, convenient to the Interstate, but the sites are very close together, so you'd better be on good terms with your neighbor. Having cable and a cafe that delivers to your site is a real plus, but the wifi if iffy.

Seasonal camper concentration: Many campgrounds cater to long-term guests. "This park has lots of seasonal sites and it's set up nice for large group camping.

Electric hookup reliability: Check power availability before booking. "Campground is small but well maintained. Hiking is great. Probably better for people with horses. Electric did not work at all sites," warns Alysha W. about hookups at Van Buren State Park.
