kids loved it. was a nice get away for the time we were there. lots of things to do. 

good family time

Very clean facilities, lots for kids to do despite Covid.  We always get a site on the outside of the main circle by the tower slide.  There’s lots of shade and optimum view of both playgrounds to keep an eye on the kiddos.  It does get very crowded on the weekends so make sure your kiddos know car safety.
