Fairly nice park with some asphalt roads (some with large pot holes). The staff was friendly but you cannot receive mail in this park. Your electricity is not paid at the park but thru the local electric company where you must establish an account. If you stay a month they want a $300 security deposit FOR WHAT???? They have your site payment. It turns out they want to be sure that you don't break anything at your site. We put up a credit card at their request and THEY RAN THE CREDIT CARD using my $300 for the month. They then write you a check for the security deposit refund but be careful that you do not leave on a Sunday because there may be no one there to write the check. BEWARE We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice/clean Camp Ground, plenty of level sites available with W/E/S, not all sites have shade trees some sites have concrete patios. Nice camp store with pleasant staff. Did not make it to the shower/restroom. Plenty to do for everyone including paddle boats and canoes. Dogs are welcomed. A Lot of yearly sites with some of the rigs looking like they have been there for 35 years. The only negative is there is no POOL but a nasty looking lake to swim in, close to the Toll Way can not hear the traffic at the short term sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The staff was not friendly to either my husband or our children. The campground is in the middle of a cornfield and the lake area has a highway running along one side. The staff came along both days and was telling us to clean-up our site. I didn't realize the "clean-up" nazi's were along for our mini get-away. They didn't like our kids bikes and big wheels. Where did they expect us to put them? After two days of being hounded. I had some good suggestions for the clean-up committee. The kids had fun at the lake, but not enough to ever get us back. We do not recommend for families with kids. They are not kid friendly and they made that very clear. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here from May 09 to October 09. It's a very nice place. Has a small lake with connecting canals running through the campground: most of the long term RVs are in this area. There are 2 smaller ponds. They have nice clean showers, a convenience store and a laundry room with 4 washers and 5 dryers. On certain occasions they have BBQs and a band down at the lake. This park is located in the country but not far from gas and groceries. We really enjoyed our time here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Paved roads, gravel site, not level throughout. Friendly staff, though hours seemed limited. New building houses office, laundry, showers. Have stayed here before and had a cement site but they were taken upon arrival. Plan to have new sites in center of campground doesn't look possible due to low nature of land. It's below the road and very wet. Spent eight nights here while visiting relatives near Chicago. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just an "ok" park - fine for overnite, but NOT interested in long stays. Staff indifferent, if you can find them; many sites are set up backwards - when you back into your spot, the utilities are on the entry side of the RV and hoses, etc have to be run under the rig. Roads very bumpy w/potholes. Have stayed at better for much less $$. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Access to lake blocked by security gate. Only residents of the lake area permitted to drive to lake. Office staff indifferent, instead of attending to person in front of them. After taking a friend on a demo run in my bus and pulling back in to my space, one of the staff chased me down and told me I had to check in, even though I had been there two days. The lake is choked with weeds. The new bath house and store is very nice, but the rate charged is way too high. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are in the only RV in the center area of the park. Lots of park models in the shaded part. I guess the pull through sites are for transients. The people here are nice, but I wonder what they are thinking. They have been mowing the grass right outside our RV for an hour--- and we're the only ones here! Close to the highway, but no noise-- that part's good. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Upon arrival, the check-in office looks promising. Once you walk in you may wonder why they bother to have any sort of 'grocery's' there. Very poor selection. Upon check-in they will lead you to site which is nice. Lot's of locals but the pull through sites seem to be overnighters or weekend party folks. Two or three sites around us had beer cans and bottles on the tables the next morning but we never heard this activity, so they were quite. Office staff was marginal. Not rude, but did not go out the way to be helpful. The lake is far from the pull-through area. Pull throughs are placed near the main road into the campground. Selecting a back-in may lead to a better more private site if you plan to stay longer. There is a TA truck stop about 3 miles away at the exit from the interstate which is nice to have near. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I found the place quite nice. Brand new shower/bathrooms (2 weeks old) store a bit light on product. It is by the freeway, but heard little to no noise. The sites are gravel with room between so neighbor is not in your coach. After a rain a bit sloppy, but interior roads are paved. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We just got back from Lehmans RV Resort in Marango...REALLY disappointed. The place looks nothing like the web site, the pics are of the private gated permanent sites, not regular rentals. We got put out in the open with no trees, lake or creek. A general store the size of my trailer, and a 'game room' with 3 games (with 1 not working) Also,(I know they cant help this because of recent rain), but the place was submerged-soaking wet. They are expanding with another 30 sites...they NEED to spend money on the facilities. The playground needs work. They have a fishing lake, and the nearest place to buy bait is about 10 miles away! Also nearby I-90 was quite loud. We will not go back again, and I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. Oh well...better than sitting around the house. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I would have rated this park much higher if the admin people actually wanted to help people. Any time we asked a question, it was like pulling teeth. Unfortunately they are the only game in town that time of the year. This park was beautiful and under new management would be great. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here for 2 months due to my husband's work--I must say I've never encountered a campground that requested a security deposit along with your monthly fee, but we did get that back AFTER they checked our site to make sure we had weed-eated our site and we didn't kill any of their grass or steal their sewer cap...we endured several catastrophes while staying at this campground--the lawn mowers chewed up several of our tie down stakes (with us WATCHING!) and threw rocks at our camper and brand new truck, the water at this campground is atrocious, it's absolutely horrible--the rust in the water completely takes over the camper with its sulphur like smell and leaves an orange film over the shower, toilet and sink--we had to clean EVERY DAY to get the gunk off! We never felt clean here! The campground staff was courteous when they felt like it, but as said earlier, the office hours were 3 pm - 8 pm which was a big inconvenience for us because of our second shift job--we had never run into this before! Beware of this place--it's just not worth it!!! They charge by the day for wireless internet as well!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The staff was friendly and directed us to our site. The sites were clean and included a fire ring and picnic table. The playground was in need of repair but was still useable. The lake was weedy, but to be expected of a shallow lake in summer. The campground was busy but very quiet. We would stay here again. We camped in a fifth wheel in July 2006. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Open year round. A good place to go when the other campgrounds in the area aren't yet open for the season. As the other reviewer said, not much for kids as the arcade is lacking in games and the store lacking in stuff. The pull-through sites aren't bad but no trees. We have had pretty good luck fishing in their ponds. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is good only for the full hook-ups and a overnight place to stay-short term. I was extremely disappointed by the amount of seasonals (this park is available for living in year round,enough said!). Not much for children to do. The baby-park was run down and for toddlers. The lake activities (large dirty ponds) did'nt exist. The canoe and paddle boats were either not maintained,dirty, vandalized,or broken. The game room was a junk room with a 30yo pinball machine. The office was open only a couple of hours a day, not much of a "store" when there isnt anything to purchase. The only saving grace were the clean bathrooms & cable TV. I wouldnt visit this park again, too many other good ones

Very pretty location and seems to be laid out well, although strung out. If you have a
choice, choose a site near the entrance as opposed to near the lake (the lake is also near the turnpike rumble strips). Nice grassy airplane runway for the kids to play on in the absence of any planes. Nice playground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
