    This park is outstanding and beautiful but the new rangers have bad communication . Unlike other TT parks a ranger would tend to call you if they need to reach you or knock on the door . Here they will just take pictures and write you up . The memberships they sell tend to be pretty pricey so multiple write up’s with no communication could cause someone to lose their membership.

    I have only been here for 3 hours and these guys have already knocked me off my feet with amazing kindness and assistance. The first site I was assigned was too small for me to comfortably pull my rig into. So, I requested a new one. They took a few minutes to shuffle stuff around and accommodated my request no problem. While I was pulling around to the new site, I messed up and went the wrong way down a one way and proceeded to get stuck at the other end. Another guest tried to help me and we couldnt get it, so I asked for help. Brian came out to look at my situation and he got to work looking for a solution. Even my roadside assistance said they couldnt help. T.T. came out to see how it was going and immediately focused in on me and my wellbeing, helping me calm down from a bit of a panic attack. After a while, Brian thought of the Blue Compass RV dealership right next door and called over there. Their manager and a tech came over and agreed to help. They brought over their forklift thats equipped to move trailers and got me unstuck! Everyone was so kind and never made me feel bad. A thousand stars to TT, Brian, and their coworkers!

    We had a lovely weekend stay. Just got our cabin pass and have been visiting one TT a month and so far this one was the nicest. Their rec center was beautiful, tons of games separate library space, and littles had their own area. Loved how close grocery store was. Awesome restaurants in the area. Great cell service. We will be back.

    EDIT: these guys replied with a copy-paste answer. EVERYONE I spoke to who was staying there have had something stolen. You are NOT safe here. You’ve been warned. This place excuses themselves with “oh it happens all the time” bs. Letter sent to corporate To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing to formally report a serious incident that occurred at your property. My 100 lb e-bike was stolen overnight, and based on the circumstances, I have reason to believe someone with access to the property may have been involved. I called the listed “emergency” number several times but received no answer, and my voicemail was never returned. When I spoke to one of the staff members the next day, he mentioned that another worker’s bike had been stolen recently and that this “happens often,” which was very concerning. Even when the police arrived, no staff member came over to assist or check on the situation. The property is surrounded by walls with a single entry and exit point, making it highly unlikely that a 100 lb e-bike could be removed without being noticed. I have repeatedly asked for the security footage to be reviewed but have not received confirmation that this has been done. Additionally, while walking around the park and speaking with other guests, two out of four people I spoke with said they’ve also had bikes or personal belongings stolen during their stay. This points to a recurring security issue on the property that requires immediate attention. I have filed a police report and set up my own cameras in the area. I expect management to cooperate with the investigation, review the footage, and take steps to ensure better safety and accountability for all guests.

    My husband and I absolutely love this park—it’s one of our favorites in the Thousand Trails network. TT is the sweetest; she’s so helpful and always greets us with the biggest smile. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. We really enjoy the social activities and the Taco Tuesday truck. I’d recommend this park to families, couples, or even women traveling solo. It’s clean, safe, and supportive with wonderful amenities. There’s even a little library and a kids’ play area! The park is modern and well-maintained, with cute cabins available as well. It’s also just a short drive to downtown, and the RV sites are relatively level—which I appreciate because I don't enjoy parking on a hill (lol). If you time your visit right, you might even catch some great live music! We’re proud to call this park our home away from home and can’t wait to come back to see Marcus, TT, Teresa and the rest of our Thousand Trails family. Thank you all for everything you do. 🌞 🧜‍♀️ 🌴
