“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.”
“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.”
“This is a family run park with on site owners and staff. They are very helpful and accommodating providing a fun and safe camping experience.”
There's always a reason to get together.
Seasonal events and park announcements are posted on our events page.
