Overall Camper Rating:

It was very nice. We had some trouble with our firepit. Yall were quick to fix it which I liked. I kinda left like it was to crowded it was very hard driving in and out of the camp due to kids and golf carts all on the road but other than that everything went well. 5/28/2020

Very enjoyable. The cabin was very clean and we found it to be exactly as advertised. It would have been nice to have the pool open. 5/28/2020

Enjoyed our camp site (69) but disappointed that we had to pay 16.99 to get this particular site. First time ever that we had to pay to choose a site. Otherwise, campground nice. 5/28/2020

Very nice place, clean and love being near town. We were on site 208, it's a little tight for a 43 foot fifth wheel to get out of, I would imagine someone with less driving experience would have a hard time, but we managed to get out unscathed... 5/28/2020

We set up inwill stay here again in the future! a campsite. It was excellent! The facilities were so clean, the staff was helpful and nice to work with! We will stay here again in the future. 5/28/2020

We were in site 97. When it rained, there was standing water on both sides of the driveway. Made it difficult to walk to the road without stepping in 1-2 inches of water. Everything else was superb. Staff was very friendly, the twice a day trash pickup was very convenient... 5/27/2020

Great stay as always 5/27/2020

Stayed here many times. Staff are great to work with and help any way they can. I'm sure I will be back soon. 5/27/2020

Was very enjoyable. Staff was very friendly. Wishing the Lazy River would have been done but under the COVID19 circumstances understand. we had a very bad problem with standing water on site 123, like it was coming up from the ground... 5/27/2020

The back in sites are extremely close together. The neighbors concrete pad was literally 10 steps from our outdoor kitchen. Other sites looked a bit roomier. Little red bugs completely took over our campsite. My kids counted over 100 one day... 5/27/2020

Great stay. Everyone was very nice. 5/27/2020

First time, will definitely be back! 5/27/2020

We had such a great stay. The location is perfect, close to everything. We loved being able to go and walk at the Patriot Park with our pet. The employees were all very friendly and willing to help and answer any questions that we may have had... 5/26/2020
