Very clean and nice park. It has all of the amenities mentioned. However, the pool is TINY. We didn't even attempt to swim there as it was so small and always crowded when we looked. It was very hard to hook up our camper as the hookups were so far away and because the sites were so small. We were told we could have a tent on our site (for an extra $10 fee), but there was nowhere to put it. The only grass on our site was a strip that was 2 feet wide by 5 feet long. I would have given this campground a 10 if the pool were nicer and the hook ups were easier. On a positive note, the playground is awesome and easily accessible. My 7 and 9 year olds loved it. I would recommend this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
While this is not an RV Resort it is a very nice campground. It is clean and the grounds are well maintained. The management is working hard to fix up this place. The roads are gravel so it is a bit dusty, but this is a campground not the Taj Mahal. The only thing I can see that needs attention are the electric poles. At some of the sites they are placed a little far from their assigned site. I was told that the management is in the process of having the electric upgraded and re-positioned. I just mentioned that there were some tree limbs touching my motorhome and were right there trimming them back. Excellent response to a minor request. This campground is only about 10 to 15 minutes from King's Island. I highly recommend this CG and we will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Have camped here many times and have to say that the new owners have done a great job in correcting a lot of the problems, standing water at sites, unfriendly management, etc., and are continuing to make improvements. My only complaints are the layout of the electric, water and sewer, and a lot of the sites are confusing and not practical. However, I understand from management that this is being corrected and I believe it will be. Also, cable isn't available and considering the somewhat high rate it should be. I will definitely camp there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I made reversations to stay at this campground, paying with a credit card over the phone. I asked for a confirmation over the phone, but was told they did not do that. We could just arrive and pull in to our site, I was given our site number over the phone. Our plan was to spend the day at Kings Island and arrive at the CG after 10:00pm. When we arrived at the CG the roads were not clearly marked as to which direction we should head. With the help of another camper we were finally able to find our site. The site we were given was useless, I asked for a 30 amp, we were given a 50 amp. We could not even hook-up to the 110, it was not working. Apparently the 110 line had not been rewired yet. We found a 30 amp site that was not being used and pulled in there. This site did not have sewer hook up so we decided to take showers at their facility. Which when we tried to get in we found out we need an access code, I was never given any of this information over the phone. We had to walk around till we found someone's light on and knock on their door and ask for the code. When I called and explained everything that had happened to a CG employee she apologized and at that time told me that there was emergency information on the office door. Which would have been nice to know before I checked in at 11:00 at night. They need to give more information over the phone or have information posted near the shower facilities. Then suppose you do not have a cell phone that you can call someone? Then what? We have stayed at places that have a "Night Registation" box. When you arrive after office hours they have a map with the site your are assigned highlighted, along with CG rules and other IMPORTANT information! Good side is this is a very nice CG, showers are clean, and the grounds are clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This CG is under new ownership and only time will tell if they are going to make a serious effort to upgrade the facilities. Our experience with the new owners was a positive one as they are friendly and have ideas about what they want to do to improve. The rate is high for the area and unless they provide a lot more for that rate they will probably not get the occupancy except for the holidays. Not having cable and WiFi and charging $40 a night for two people is not reasonable. I will be going back in 2008 to see what improvements have been made and to report. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The new owners of this park are amazing! Very friendly, making great improvements in the park, and willing to do what they can for their guests. The showers and bathrooms are clean. The pool is clean and tended to on a regular basis. The Internet works great and is free (as all parks should be). Family friendly. There are a lot of things nearby to do and see. We highly recommend this campground for long or short term stays. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have camped here in the past and the CG has not changed much except for the higher rate. They do accept Good Sam which helps. Overall a nice clean CG with lots of trees but showing its age after about 30 years. This owner is wanting to sell after 10 years which may be why we saw him for only the first two days of the long July 4th WE. Pool is small for the size of the CG and lack of supervision at the pool is cause for concern. Clear "no diving" message is posted but teens and adults were jumping in and over small children with no regard for others in the pool. I guess to them diving means head first only and maybe the definition needs to be made clearer. That no one was hurt was just a stroke of luck. CG design is somewhat odd in that the electric service sits at the back of the sites which requires in most cases an extension to make the connection but the sewer sits in the next camper's area. The water connection is between campers requiring a long hose in some instances and right through the campsite. While everything works well it would seem that some rework of the utilities might be in order. Sewer pipe and cover were broken at many sites due to folks driving over them and with no post or marker to protect them this is understandable. We will be interested to see what happens to this CG once it is under new ownership. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground has been in business for over 25 years, and it is in serious need of some upkeep. There is no type of drainage system. It rained for about 1 1/2 hours one day and there were huge puddles of standing water everywhere. Our family rented 3 lots and one of them was downhill and the entire lot was filled with water and mud. Other lots were also in standing water, and alot of folks checked out due to the muddy mess. The water never drains and is a perfect environment for mosquitoes. After 2 days, the water was still standing. Nothing is being done to fix the problem. The owner is very rude and unfriendly and does not know how to deal with the public. He rides around the park on a 4-wheeler and cuts through the campsites, instead of mainly staying on the road. He almost ran over one of the people in our group. Another bad item about this campground - the sewer hookup is right next to the next person's picnic table. This is not good. Also, for some reason, the electric and water hookups are separate - they are on each edge of the campsites? This does not make any sense? The rates are rather high, but I don't mind paying a little bit more for quality, but this campground did not meet that criteria. I talked to other campers who were staying there, and they were also disappointed in the campground and the owner, so it was just not us. I will definitely not return to this camground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park is in need of some updating. Had reservations for a week. Upon arrival they had rain previously, and moved people onto our reserved site. We had to stay on another site, and then had to move, to our original reserved site a day later. Owner complained I did not pay enough money for the week, but I explained I paid when I made the reservations, and if he wanted more money, I would leave and he would have to give me a refund. He said forget it. This park is in really sad shape for a park that is close to Kings Island (since Kings Island shut down their campgrounds). He would get a lot of their business if he would just make some improvements. I will never stay here again as long as it is under the current ownership. We camped in a motorhome.
