Diane was amazingly accommodating to our need to change our reservation. 2/3/2021

Easy access off the highway. Very clean and quiet. 2/1/2021

Nice, quiet campground. Convenient to Interstate 75. We have stayed here many times on our way home to north Georgia from Central Florida. 1/31/2021

The reason we are giving this campground 5 stars is because we had an issue with water and sewer hookups at our site and the owner was over the top apologetic and did his best to rectify the situation... 1/29/2021

Staff manager very nice and let us pick our own site, park is clean and they try to keep it as good as they can on a limited budget. Cable TV is good but open internet does not support VPN so could not telework work RV... 1/29/2021

Enjoyed our stay thanks 1/25/2021

Nice stay for an overnighter! Thank you for the hospitality :-) We’ll be back 1/20/2021

Everything worked great. We were on our way florida.Just spent one night. Staff was nice 1/18/2021

Overall my stay was great. The front desk people and support staff were very helpful and pleasant. The only thing is it was raining and the sites are not paved which was okay in the aggregate picture. I will be staying there again in a couple days 1/16/2021
