Be ready for the entrance since it is a driveway between businesses (and downhill). This park is quite convenient for visiting the very many sites in the area. The office staff is friendly and helpful; lots of food choices in the area. It was very quiet for being right on a main road. It's an RV park that could be a mobile home park but the residents are friendly but street parking is tight. Some concrete pads needed to be reconstructed. One site had a lot of mud. We'd come back here for the location and conveniences nearby. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are not very roomy, but a great place to overnight. Restrooms were family style and they were great. Best restrooms we have ever used. Great Chinese Restaurant next door. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Read the previous reviews. They have it right. Mostly permanent rigs with narrow sites and cracked or missing concrete. We tried to fit in with a 45' motorhome, and felt lucky to get out unscathed. They had one pull thru which one had to access by pulling thru the empty site behind it and down a little hill avoiding mud holes. Exiting is another challenge. Everybody parks their toad or truck on the road in front of their site to and to leave you must ask others to move their vehicles. We left and went to Wal-Mart. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a park that has multiple personality disorder. Is it in an urban environment? Yes, yet it was quite quiet. Is it an RV park? It's an RV park that, if those weren't RV's, could be a mobile home park (a number of semi-permanent residents). Is it an RV dealership? Yes, but that does not seem to disrupt customer service for campers. Were the bathrooms large? No, but they were immaculate and incredibly private (almost like a home bathroom complete with walk-in shower, pedestal sink, etc). Was it mowed and neat? Yes, yet some concrete pads needed to be back-hoed and reconstructed. One site had a lot of mud. Was there really any recreation? No, its for an overnight stay if you are just visiting. Would we stay here again? Depends on what time we arrived in the St. Joseph area. This is one of the toughest parks I have written about. Nice, but oddly different. A bit pricey for the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The best part about the park was the front desk - the woman who checked us in was very nice and helpful. However, the park sits in the middle of the city, right on a commercial road close to many services and restaurants. The sites were pretty close together with several semi-permanent RVs there. It is good for an overnight, but not for a base camp to explore the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I would say that it was just adequate, and was overpriced. Pull-throughs were too short and we had to park the truck in the street. We would probably stay here again if nothing else was available. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have overnighted here several times. There is nothing about this park that is real outstanding, however there are no real negatives either. The fact that we keep coming back speaks for itself. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice, quiet campground. The entrance is right on the main street, but the campsites are set back and are very quiet. We stayed 3 nights and would probably stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a delightful little park. The sites are very close together, but level and easy to back into. There are only two restrooms, which is a bit of a concern when you don't have a bathroom (we don't), but always look like they've just been cleaned. The staff is wonderful--friendly and helpful. In spite of being right on a main road, the park is quiet at night. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The location of the park is very convenient on the Belt Way. The park is very clean, a little tight BUT nothing of any concern. The staff were WONDERFUL and went out of their way to be helpful! The WiFi is CHEAP and one of the best we've experienced! Will definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean and well kept facilities. Campground is right in town with commercial businesses on front and nice residential area behind. We were really surprised at how quiet it was given its location. Campground is situated on a slope, but all campsites are level with concrete or paved pads. Excellent WiFi internet and cable TV service. Highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
In town site. Nice neighborhood. Many seasonals. Site a bit narrow and short. Pull throughs in season are quite short. Pull around requires exiting and re-entering from public road. Be prepared. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I would have given this park a 10 if they had just washed our motorhome! Really, great place. Will use it again. No complaints. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park with very good ingress and egress. Extremely personable and helpful people run
it. Across the street from several restaurants. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Did not save reserved site, caters to permanents who all park in only exit road, was very difficult to get out. Sites are crammed together. I would avoid this one at all costs. We camped here in a camper.
We really enjoyed this campground. Very large sites. Quiet and well maintained. The park rangers were very nice. The host was a couple who were very old. He was super nice she acted like she hated being there. Close to water to swim at sand beach area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It was exactly what we were looking for. The interior roads of the park were flat and paved for our 4 kids to ride their bikes. We never had to worry about them. Lots of trees, very pretty setting. The only bad thing was there is not water at the sites, only electricity, so a weekend is about all we can do. Over all, a very nice weekend. The walk to the lake is nice too. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This place deserves to shut down. The entrance road is over a mile long and only 11 feet wide. It has several blind corners and large hills without room for two vehicles to pass. Meet a car here and someone has to back up. Its sites aren't marked and aren't improved just a bunch of power pedestal's plunked down on a hilly pasture. When it rains you had better be careful, we sank to our axles and had to call for a tow. After they have their first major accident and are sued its doubtful they will still be in business anyway. We camped here in a camper.
