    Campsites are mostly large. Being fairly level is a great advantage in motorhome sites. People we've met have been really nice and the staff has been very helpful

    This thousand trails is a pretty good park. For its size I would expect a indoor pool with being open year round. They have a large space for events but nothing going on. It is quiet and can see the stars really well. Some sites are cement other rock that just turns to mud when it rains. Premium sites are just standard sites anywhere else. Staff seems nice.

    Forest Lake is a beautiful setting. Has all of the space and most of the amenities people want. But poorly maintained. I asked for a level site for my 38’ motorhome. I ended up with an uphill entrance that ripped off my exhaust (which will cost $800 to replace). Some amenities are simply just falling apart. It appears that Thousand Trails does not provide enough resources or staff. Everyone was friendly and we did not use the bathhouses.
