Overall Camper Rating:

Seemed kind of expensive but the staff went above and beyond to help me out a few times while I was there. Plus there was an amazing sunset!!! 12/8/2020

We would stay here again just for the food! The location is great, with many historic sites to visit nearby, but for us it was just an overnight. After a long day of driving, it was nice to pull in... 10/7/2020

Super fast wifi. Well stocked camp store and a cafe on property. 9/28/2020

It’s a quiet campground a 1/2 mile off the interstate surrounded by fields and a small lake. The quiet is what brings us back each time as we’re traveling. Very peaceful area. We’ve stayed there 3 times this past year as we travel between states. Friendly... 11/14/2020

Hosts were really helpful and friendly 10/23/2020

We were driving through and needed a place for the night. They were very accommodating and we were able to stay for one night. Would definitely stay there again. 10/20/2020

Friendly and helpful staff with a well stocked store, but no masks and little in the way of COVID safety. The campgrounds would be much more inviting in the summer as we awoke with 21 degree weather. 10/19/2020

Best hosts ever!! 10/19/2020

Very nice campground, clean facilities, friendly staff. 10/18/2020

Check in person, please! Wear masks to stop this virus. 10/17/2020

The hosts were very helpful and friendly. Due to its remote location they have a kitchen with menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We ordered a Hawaiian Pizza. It was one of the best pizza we've ever had. THANKS. 10/14/2020

We really appreciated the food that they delivered 10/14/2020

Such a nice stay. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Watching and listening to the red winged blackbirds in the marsh, put such a joyful end to my long day. (The pizza was a fun and surprising delicious treat!) Thank you! Wanda Booth 10/11/2020

Quiet campground, even delivered us pizza! 10/11/2020

The Wifi worked, the tent camp spaces were very large, and the store was very extensive, it was overall nice. We have been to KOAs with better facilities for washing dishes and greener grass for tent camping. 10/8/2020

Other than the highway nice, it was great. 10/7/2020

Well kept and maintained campground with a very friendly staff and clean accommodations. The on-site restaurant was a MAJOR welcome after a long day of driving in very high winds...delicious burgers! Lots of cattle nearby, and you could tell if the wind shifted... 10/6/2020

One of the best! It’ll be nice when all the freeway construction is over. We didn’t try the food delivery service but so reassuring it was there if needed. 10/3/2020

For over 70 years the hot mineral waters have run into the hotel's plunges to relive the body of aches and pains caused from muscular skeletal discomfort, trauma and disease. The healing waters have also been known to help with some skin disorders, respiratory issues, immune deficiencies by assisting the body own healing process through cleansing and detoxifying.

The mineral water comes from the ground at about 119 degrees F. Flowing to the plunges at about 30 gallons per minute, where it naturally arrives at about 105-109 degrees F. We use no other heating methods or chemical additives in the plunges. Just hot mineral water from the earth's natural source.
