  This place was pretty cool stayed here for 3 days and never had to leave the property. I highly recommend renting a golf cart for the time you are there. The Smokehouse on the river serves great food, the pizza place near the general store was also amazing.We enjoyed the fishing, water park,petting zoo, mini golf,kids play area, swamp buggy ride, basketball courts and all the wildlife in the area ...And there's so much more we didn't get a chance to do like the airboat Rides, archery skeet, shooting air rifle range....Already planning to come back, this time would try to plan it on a Friday or Saturday night for we can catch the rodeo and enjoy the saloon. It is a shame the saloon is only open on Friday or Saturday nights and everything locally closes pretty early. They should have options somewhere to watch football games on Sunday and Monday nights..... The only negative moment we felt was with the cleaning staff that cleans the rooms, we felt like they were in the room next to ours with an unusually amount of people and took way more time than they needed to clean just one room , and every time we opened the door to our room they were just hanging out by our door almost looking like if they were trying to peek into our room.

  Without a doubt, it was an incredible experience! We went with my 6-year-old son and he had so much fun! There are plenty of activities for all ages, and the little ones are definitely included. My favorite activity was the Swamp Buggy — we were lucky to have a very communicative and funny guide! We laughed a lot! My husband also wanted to try the shooting range. He had never done it before, but he said the instructor who helped him was great, and he was really able to enjoy his first experience shooting. The only thing I personally didn’t love was the café. Even though it carries the Starbucks brand, the quality, service, and price left a bit to be desired. But honestly, it didn’t affect our overall experience. The other food options we tried — the pizza and the burger (from the poolside food truck) — were delicious! To sum it up, we had days filled with fun, and I recommend it to everyone! I hope to come back soon!

  We stayed Thanksgiving holiday week. Let’s start with pros.. Waterpark is great, clean, fun. Food truck at waterpark was the best food on property. The cowboy adventure park was great for kids. Archery was fun and Josh at shooting range we liked a lot. We also liked the escape room and the woman from the Virgin Islands who ran it was so sweet! Negatives and warnings. Bring food , snacks and water! Bring marshmallows for you your party. Bring your own soaps because theirs are awful. Bar soap sucks. The prices are ridiculous. The stores were all closed when you wanted to go. Ice cream shop closed early. Restaurants closed on random days. Understaffed and weak service at the restaurants. Food at the BBQ was not good. Premade in bags. I saw. If you have an allergy beware. They are not conscious of what a tree nut allergy is! We took note that the floors in the room were very dirty. Our socks were black on the bottom. Rooms are dated. Walls paper thin. We heard our neighbors TV as if it was on in ours! Many things we tried to do were booked and unavailable. They had NO firewood, many guest were upset about that and nothing to do after dinner. We were under a boil water notice and they had to shut the water off at the resort. Great timing.

  I absolutely loved this place. I only had an opportunity to eat at this Saloon so I can't speak to the quality of the food. I was with a group amd our breakfast lunch and dinners or set up buffet style. The food was just okay. I did eat at 1 of the other little eateries I ordered to snack, 4 chicken tenders with some sauce for about 10 bucks. That tasted pretty good. The Graze wasn't open during my stay. The water park was a good edition, which consisted of a few medium size slides. They had something for everyone like a rock climbing wall. A bull riding activity.\n two hill shaped outdoor trampolines, they were undercover and tire swings. They even had a mini construction site for the kiddos to use the construction machines, they had giant jangle. There was a maze, a petting zoo, there were so many animals there that have been rescued the ponies were docile enough to allow people to come up and braid their mane. There were goats, pigs, horses, ponies, cows and several other animals. On the property, you can do Horseback riding, airboat rides, which were so peaceful and swap buggy rides. There were wild pigs on the property with horses, cows, pigs, I think wild turkeys too. You can also do archery. I think I saw skeet shooting as well. They have hunting options, I believe the minimum height for a lot of activities was 36 inches. We had was nice and had a fridge and had a sing, it had. The microwave there were so many different camping options. Having a golf cart helps you get around the property. Overall, pretty good. I would recommend for a family gathering or vacation.

  This place has a lot of potential, unfortunately the operations among the staff are so poorly run with a wild amount of miscommunication that is greatly impacted the experience. I overheard other customers complaining about the same issue. They have you book all activities through a QR code but the code sends you to a number, the number sends you to a building and then each building sends you to another and it becomes a ping pong game of misinformation. The staff is poorly trained and did not communicate critical info (ex: arriving early for trap shooting) so when we arrived on time we were turned away and missed the experience. The amenities and activities are great and go above and beyond, but the way the property is operated will run the place into the ground. I suggest training your staff so it doesn't result in a poor overall experience. Felt like I paid all-inclusive prices for sub-par rooms and then was nickle and dimed for every activity. Would not recommend. Not worth the money - food and rooms were 2 star at best.
