- FCFritz Cool CatSep 25, 20252.0Needs some maintenance and upgrades. The staff wasn't very friendly. We've been to much nicer Thousand trail campgrounds was disappointing by comparison.
- JRJames RobinsonAug 27, 20254.0There is a gate entrance fee that you are charge that you don't know about until you check in.
- DADarlene AAug 9, 20253.0This TT park has some crazy rules for parking your RV, which we have never seen anything like it before and we travel all over the Country. The way you park in a back-in spot is either front-in or back-in….whichever way you choose and the spots are super tight....like sardines. The hookups are located at the back end of the spot and leveling was not good. You have to see it to believe it. They have a mix of 30 amp electric with 50 amp so you have big rigs trying to get into a small spot to use the 50 amp. Crazy! They also tell you, you can drive either direction on the road to go to your spot. They have no one-way direction. So look out if you have two big rigs driving in opposite directions down the road and the roads are not that wide. But the phase 2 section is a much nicer section and the spots are spacious. So if you are lucky to get in the phase 2 section, I am sure you will have a much better experience at this park. It is a shame that they don't put some TLC into the older section because it would be a much nicer park. It is a good location with a lot to do around the area.
