“We stayed for 2 months. The park grounds, bath house and pool is VERY well kept and clean. The maintenance guys really do a great job and are always willing to help. The office staff is also very friendly and helpful.”

Phillip Brost · Guest review

“Wonderful staff very friendly. Seasonal campers are also great people. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but the bad reviews I've read are seriously wrong.”

Ira Kozak · Guest review
