Went for the Christmas Island - the lights were great and honestly, it seems pricey, but we were pleasantly surprised. Then they have the little “Christmas Village” with Santa, snacks, Knick-knacks, and hot chocolate at the end that was great. Our little one loved it.

Great place for a quick no thrills camping getaway. Be careful which plot you chose for camping, some are so small you can't even put up a tent or it is straight down a hill.

You can have a pop-up and a trailer, 3 boats, 6 cars, 25 people and a dog that never stops barking. We were there two weeks ago and those were our neighbors. Also constant contraction starting at 6:30;am Monday thru Friday. Golf course is nice
