Quiet Camping spot

Site A4 was pretty nice. Had enough space between my camper and the neighbors. The only downside was a utility hub somewhat in the middle of the site. The site itself was fairly level, had a brand new picnic table, and had a little gravel pad. Other sites closer to the pool were super close together. Luckily i only need 30amp and got a little more spacious site. The pool was nice but it was just missing the usual pool chairs to sun bath on. They had a few metal tables with chairs at each one. Minimal interactions with the staff. They seemed nice and respectful.

Problems abound

The front desk staff was helpful when calling for an after hour check-in and the maintance staff responded quickly to issues. But that is the end of the good.

  1. the restrooms and showers were disgusting and in ill-repair. I've used truck stop showers and restrooms all over the country. These were some of the worst facilities I've ever seen.
  2. late arrival and get situated only to find the breaker broken. Maintance moved us spots rather quickly though. Just exhausting to come to a stop for the night and have to deal with issues.
  3. spots were not level but were shaded. 4)NO signage and / or not visible at night.
  4. overpriced for gross amenities

Will come back

Convenient to 95 during our drive to Florida. Office run well. Could use some updating. While we didn’t use pool or other amenities, we had a private shady spot up in the woods (C1). Will stay here again.

Nice, quiet overnight stop

We are full time and were passing through and saw this on map. Friendly staff. Level sites with good size sites. Didn't venture out as temps dropped fast this day. Good stop for overnight. Also seems to have many who want to stay 4-5 months in this area. Has laundry, pool( closed for winter ). Will stop back someday.
