| Very scenic. Beautiful area. Staff very kind and polite. Not overly crowded even on Father's Day weekend. Owner mentioned that "this place never fully books up." We were able to take up 2-3 sites with no worries. Only charged for one. W/E sites are nice, but the primitive ones were excellent - really shaded and secluded. We had the kids, so we chose a W/E site. No ATV's or golf carts allowed - made for a VERY peaceful stay. Pool is clean, but not ideal for smaller children unless you have floaties or noodles. Locker rooms/Bathrooms - NOT good. Not clean. Needed to take some bleach and a power washer to them. Water slide on property, but isn't working. Looks like it was once a great attraction. Firewood very good quality and super cheap! $5 for 10 LARGE pieces. Property is large and not over run by townies or locals. We tent camp and were 1 of 2 sites that had tents, but allll the other tent sites were empty. Large playing areas for the kids were good! It does not have the same feel as a Jellystone as far as "attractions" and a general store that has good snacks/ice cream shop. But it isn't not shoulder to shoulder camping either-that's the trade off! General store closes early so come prepared with everything! Nearby river for fishing, but that would be a 2/10 for fishing. Overall - good campground, but not perfect. Still looking for that perfect campground that we cannot seem to find! |
