Wonderful place to stay. Tent sites are sparse at only 3 locations but all in all a beautiful location. Located very close to Frankfort & Buffalo trace makes it an ideal spot to camp while visiting the city. The permanent residents we ran into were very friendly & all stopped by & said hello along with their dogs. Only hiccup would be the coyotes that woke us up at 3 am running in the field by the site, followed by the less startling sound of foxes playing at the river & campsite at 4 am. The sites are not electric which is to be excepted since they have had flooding that fried the sites electricity previously. A really nice perk was the large amount of dried free fire wood we were able to use to start a fire in the fire ring. Thank you to the staff running the park, weiland, hope, & baby’s owners who all made the stay very pleasant & helped us find the amenities we needed to make the stay an enjoyable one.

We rented the on site camper and were very pleased with the cleanliness and comfort of the camper. It was well stocked and very clean, everything one might need for a comfortable getaway was there. Just bring groceries. Definitely would do it again.

This park has changed over the years used to be a fun place to take your family everybody was friendly. Man has it the shareholders now own it and run it fully and they are the rudest most disrespectful people I would be ashamed of myself to say I was affiliated with this group completely lost mine in my family's business at this park I will make sure that I tell everyone about the horrible experience I had here.

This place has been amazing from the first time we came to check it out. There are plenty of cool people who do seasonal camping and activities to enjoy with them. If you like bourbon, Jerry will give you a few tastes 😂. Wow, what a difference a board can make. With this new board, the manager and all other staff has quit and the whole feeling of the campground has really gone to the dogs. So many people have complained about the unwelcoming feeling they get from the board. Sorry, not sorry, but save yourself the disappointment
