Welcome to the “Land of 1000 Rules”. This property has apparently been in the same family for three generations, over 80 years. You would think that folks who have been in business for that long would understand the importance of customer service. Our campsite was located on the end on a row so that every vehicle that came into our section of the campground would shine their headlights into our unit. Also, the pavement ended right next to our site resulting in the roads on both sides of our camper being gravel. There was no speed limit posted on the road so the device trucks which were numerous and the endless golf carts would go zipping by, raising clouds of dust. If you go to the pool, don’t you dare take anything but a clear water bottle because management is afraid of people taking alcohol into the pool area even though the lifeguard can take an insulated cup with her. Also, do not move the chairs or you will be whistled at by the the lifeguard. However, you can have any kind of drink you might like and place it on the picnic table right outside the gate and imbibe as you might like. No moving the chairs because management is afraid that you will damage the chairs even though the lounge chairs have wheels. Note that there are no signs indicating you cannot move the chairs. I voiced my concern, especially about the dust, to the lady at the registration desk and she was dismissive and unconcerned about my suggestions. The laundry facility is outside in the heat and cold. The machines are under the eaves of the building so you won’t get rained on but there is no where to hang clothes and no clean tables to fold clothes on. They list over 500 seasonal sites and only 60 other sites. The seasonal sites with all the junk around the units and electric wires crisscrossing over their roofs give the appearance of a third world environment (see photos). Not recommended!

We’ve been customers on,& off for years. They are petty strict w/ their rules when it comes to the pool. I’m still waiting for it to open on a hot sunny day after cool temps,& rain. Many people walked away dissatisfied. They won’t open their pool til it’s 68 degrees, including the hot tub. You also can’t move the chairs around . You can only have water at the pool only, if you decide to bring a beverage. Be aware of the rules, & stay-play safe!

Pay $60 per night for sand box and can’t even use one small tent for kid other way pay extra per night even it’s in same sand box what I paid already it’s extremely too much . Why advertise show family heated pool and hot tub if was whole weekend closed . We asked numeral time and firs answer was because outside temperature is still under 69 degrees. !!!!!!! So why it’s heated pool if need be 69 degrees on my cell phone and thermometer show 67 degrees they don’t open pool all day . And who will be use hot tub if outside will be so hot and warm ?????? So we not use pool ably watching closed pool every time we pass around pool . So sad . And not make any logical. Have heated pool and not open because outside is not 69 degrees . And hot tub not even talk about. For $60 per night for sand box and can’t anything do and use is too much I think so .

No discounts on off-season any more,they raised the prices to much. our friends and families have always had 4 to 6 sites we have already made reservations at a different campground next spring. You have out priced your loyal customers. There are many places to camp that are nicer and more reasonable rates.
