My family and I love this campground and plan to return every year we can. This was the second year we’ve stayed and it was just as wonderful as the first.

Our stay was good.... although I have some recommendations....I would like TV in all rooms.....also the shower head was a bit to forceful for the younger ones...it was like bees biting you....the pressure was great just change the shower head .....overall it was a good time for all ...staff was friendly and helpful....see you again

When our space flooded with over night rains, the staff was very accommodating and allowed is to move to a new and upgraded site. They were all very friendly.

Campground was in a great location, however, the quiet hours were not followed. It was loud, kids riding golf carts blowing horns, loud music sometimes until 2:00 am. I will probably not go back due to this. I enjoy my peace and quiet while camping especially after 10:00 pm at night.

We rented the 2 bedroom cabin. The camp ground was great, fishing and pool. The cabin was less than desirable for the cost. Water was turned off on arrival. I was able to turn it on no problem. Massive water leak at the connection. Smell of mold, floor was sagging and air conditioning was lacking. In general we have enjoyed the cabins before but this unit was not in the best connection.

The bathrooms were in very rough shape with a broken shower and cleanliness was poor. The pool deck was very slippery due to green algae. The store closed a bit early at 5pm. There was very poor drainage and we had a lake at our campsite after a light to moderate rainfall. Everything else was nice.

Nice site on the river, with trees and views of the mountains. (motorhome with full hook-ups) Friendly staff, great amenities and huge camp store with nice gifts/souvenirs. Would definitely stay here again.

We love this place! Return stay. Kids activities included jump pad, gem sifting, caterpillar train, playground, pool and hot tub. Our cabin was clean, on the water, and had all needed items. We'll be back next year!

you no longer have crafts for the kids. For years there were crafts everyday. You no longer do that its important to the kids and to adults.

Nice place to explore the area. Holiday weekend so the park was full. Lots of unsupervised children riding ebikes and scooters. Several rode behind the RV as I was trying to back in. Campground is dark and lots of bikes after dark with no lights.

This was the worst stay we have had there in regard to amenities. The pool was disgusting. There were bugs and such floating all over the top and the water was cloudy and gross. I did not get in, but the kids and people around us said it was slimy feeling. Somebody said one of the workers said it was due to the number of people in it. Get a professional and shock it nightly and use a skimmer!

The campground has great amenities and activities, especially for families. Our site wasn't cleaned from the previous guests, and our after-hours check-in map was missing. With no cell service, it was difficult to get help. The staff was very friendly. Suggestions: extend store hours and post daily events more clearly. Overall, a good stay with room for improvement.

There was a mixup with our reservation upon arrival, and the staff handle it right away and made sure our stay was amazing! Thank you so much for a great vacation!

Nice staff and location but bathrooms need to be cleaned more often.

We found bedbugs and were informed there were complaints before we arrived and they didn’t clean it first.

Camp ground was just ok. Nothing special. Cost was way too much for what was offered so the value was poor. The grass needed to be cut and it had clumps of grass piled up from the last cut. The comfort station was not very clean. No toilet paper in one stall and no soap in the sink dispenser when I first used it early in our stay. They did refill both items later in the stay.

We had a mix up on our vacation plans , so we called on Saturday before the 4th of July week and they had a spot for us. A perfect spot in the back in the shade. Thank you for saving our vacation. Definitely will be coming back

Nice campground bathrooms could’ve been a little cleaner but campground was packed
Jul 06, 2026
Great amenities, great layout, beautiful location. The only negative is that the bathrooms could have used more frequent attention- men’s restroom at one point went over 24 hours with no hand soap.
Jul 06, 2026
Great location. Lots to do. Away from loud traffic and nice pretty level spots. Very dog friendly though we don’t have a pet. The only thing is that kids were out at all hours. Just have to watch for them if you come in late

Bathrooms were gross, shower had a lot of hair and muddy standing water. Light switch on the ceiling in the bathroom looked like it burned or rusted. The other shower stall had no light. Staff was friendly.

On first fishing visit to Cherokee (5/30/2026) and had little information. Asked at office and Chantelle was very helpful and shared what she could. Very easy going and helpful.
