This was the 2nd time staying at this park. There are a considerable amount of permanent trailers here, some very old and not kept up very well. The grounds are very well maintained. It was very quiet. Restrooms are old but kept clean, however there was a distinct "damp" odor. There was what I thought to be a very strange rule listed and that is: you cannot walk your dog through the park, You must walk your dog within your assigned site. I have never encountered that type of rule before. There did not appear to be any activity here. Perhaps it was because they will be closing at the end of the month. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is okay, but I'm guessing it will be much worse in the coming months/years. It looks like it is transitioning quickly to a permanent resident trailer park. I'd say it's about 1/2 way there now. The park is quite pretty and has two very nice lakes for fishing/swimming. It also has a nice playground and swimming pool. The sites were basically level and easy to access, and were larger than your average site. All of the hookups "worked", but that is also were one of our three biggest complaints come in. Our biggest complaint was the water. It was black - literally. You fill the kitchen sink and you couldn't see the bottom. And it smelt/tasted awful, so we used bottled water during our stay. Second, it is expensive. The base rate was for 2 people and we have three kids, so we had to pay $6 extra. At $41 a night we didn't get much.....I'm writing this review from an $18 a night park that is much nicer. Third, they have restricted access gates. When you arrive you have to pay $10 for a card if you are going to come and go either before 8a or after 8pm. That's the STATED policy anyways. I knew we would be after 8p a couple of nights, so I bought the card (price refunded at end of stay). Good thing I did, since they were often not in the office, and without a card I would not have been able to get back in the campground. That really annoyed me. The staff was friendly though, and for now the park is well-maintained (except for that disgusting water). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We just returned from a week's stay at this campground. From the brochure, it appears that there is a lot to do.. However, there is not. We have two boys and they brought their fishing poles and tackle boxes because the brochure states there are two fishing ponds. Well, it's hard to fish among cat tails and weeds! The boys put their poles and tackle boxes away (after losing several lures caught on the weeds) and never had the desire to fish the rest of the week. The store was not within close distance. You either had to bike there, drive your vehicle there or walk a ways. The store (if you want to call it that) didn't have a grocery section as other campground stores had we've been to. No little souveniers or postcards or anything like that. The only food items sold were pop and candy. So don't forget anything or you'll have to do what we did - go to a store in town! When you check in, you are given the option to put a $10 down payment on a gate card that gives you access to come back in to the park due to the locked gates. When you check-out, you get the $10 back. I'd have to say that I did like the fact that there were locked gates. There was also mention that dogs were allowed but had to be kept at the campsite. Well, there were people walking their dogs. I didn't really see any security patrolling the park. My husband did report some rowdy teenagers who were going through our site and others one evening. One bright spot of the campground is the laundry facility. Very clean with lots of washers and dryers. To wash a load of laundry was $1.50 and to dry was $1.00. Very reasonable!! The pool was nice. No lifeguard though so you swim at your own risk. Some of the teens (and adults) got quite rowdy in the pool. My boys were also disappointed with the game room. The store hours are not every day so when the store is closed, so is the game room. On Friday, for example, the store was open 5pm - 11pm so if they wanted to play a game of pool, they had to wait til Friday evening. I believe the store was closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I've never been to a campground that had store hours like this place. The garbage dumpsters were at the bottom of a hill that you would use when you arrive and leave the campground so that was convenient. We would just toss the garbage on our truck and drop it off on our way out. Everyone working on the lawn mowers, tractors and at the store were very friendly and would always wave. However, improvements need to be made starting with the ponds. They need to be cleared out so that people (especially children) can catch 'the big one'. Overall, it's a nice campground if you want to just go somewhere and relax. If you are looking for a campground with lots to do, this is not the campground for you. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I think this is an excellent campground. The lots are the largest that I have ever seen - about 2 or 3 times a normal campsite size! This is a gated CG - very nice touch! The owners live adjacent to the CG and they are very helpful and nice. We did not use the showers, but they are clean, as are the restrooms. The only negative thing I can say about this CG, is there are no soap dispensers in the bathrooms. They have a laundromat. There is a fishing lake, baseball diamond, swimming pool, basketball court, and play area. Very clean and well maintained campground. We will definitely return for a longer visit! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
While we did not use it, we checked the pool and it was clean. Some sites are shaded and some not. Not all are full hook-up. Only negative is there are some park units that need some attention in the park otherwise I would have rated the park higher. Not bad just a little tacky. Campground is fairly far away from the interstate and is quiet. We camped here in a camper.
