Reviews
Cabins were clean. Grounds are well kept. Nice general store. With mini golf, a pool, and a small park, this place is great for a young family or grandparents taking kids out. Everyone observed quiet time restriction. Bathrooms are very nice for a camp sight or any where really.
Staff was kind and understanding. Well worth the money for a small group of friends celebrating a birthday.

My mother passed away and I had to cancel. I was able to reach out on 6 days in advance even tho I emailed and call prior to their 7 day policy but they still kept the money. #badbusiness and they lost a customer. My mother died would you like the death certificate…. really

The campground is very nice and the location worked out great for us. However, I attempted to take my dog to the dog park and I could smell it before we got close! I could not bare the smell, it made me queasy. I don’t know if it was that the trash had not been emptied in a long time, or possibly they had just spread some ripe fertilizer. Iwas very grateful our site was not close to the dog park!!!

Needed a safe, reasonable place to stay one night as I passed through the area. Other KOAs have been underwhelming in my experience. This one, however, was great! The location was quiet and beautiful. The (tent) site was nice with a great fire pit, picnic table, ample flat area and its own parking. The bathrooms were clean with nice hot showers.
I pass through the area on a regular basis and will definitely stay here again.
