The cabins are clean but not exactly 4 full size people. Otherwise, great water pressure, clean dishes, and all in all its a great campground.

Cant say I've ever been more disappointed in paying any amount of money to stay anywhere. The staff is not that helpful, the front gate has allowed many people to slide in with out a pass code or key card. Our site was covered in leaves and old dog feces when we first arrived and after cleaned up my daughter stepped in a pile of dog feces in her brand new shoes because everyone seems to be allowed to let their dogs run loose whenever they feel like it. Other sites blast music in all hours of the night on the nights they feel like it and nothing is said or done about any of this. Along with supposedly having a water main break and being told the whole campground is without water and will be getting fixed just to find out the next day it is still not fixed and told it might be fixed again by the next day and that situation is causing problems with water in our camper and not allowing us or our children to even use the restroom and not one person has mentioned any kind of feasible solution or compensation or refund of any kind. 10 out of 10 would not ever recommend this campground to anyone.

Many campgrounds offer one time shower passes so I called to see if that was something they offered by chance and was met with a very rude “no this is a PRIVATE campground.” Most campgrounds are lmao thanks big dawg tell me something I don’t already know

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
