The cabins are clean and comfortable. My family had a great time here during our stay and we are looking forward to going back next year. There is sand, everywhere. Not really a negative, just something to be aware of. You'll need to sweep out your cabin before you check out. The swimming pond and beach are lots of fun.

This is a hard review to write because my family and I had the greatest time there. There was always something fun to do and I thought the staff were great.. however, the cleanliness.. my goodness. It's one thing to have icky bathrooms, but to rent a cabin where it's dirty up on arrival when you are paying for it.. is ridiculous. I didn't make a fuss over it and then about 5 days after camping, our whole cabin broke out in this rash. It started out as looking like a cluster of bug bites.. but guess what!? It was SCABIES. Our whole cabin got them! It's been a few weeks since being there and it had been nearly impossible to get rid of. We brought it back home to the rest of our families from the site and it was confirmed as scabies. We all got it around the exact same time after being in the cabin together. I gave 1 star for rooms and 1 for the location because we literally caught a PARASITE and we were there for less than 24 hours. I would take lice or bed bugs over this. You can't see them, so it's easy to miss and makes it more dangerous. All I know is my life has been insane since coming here and it wasn't worth what it costed. I haven't been able to go to work in 9 days because we keep getting reinfected passing it between family members who didn't even attend the trip with us. It's ridiculous. I've never been so disgusted. I would tell people not to stay here because it's that serious. It's not some infection.. it's an infestation. It breaks my heart how a place so great can lead to something so awful and could literally be fixed with doing proper cleaning. It's enough to make people not return. This is why it's important to follow all the rules and regulations because this is how outbreaks happen.

This was a great campground with oodles of things for the kids to do. Our site was large, convenient and nicely shaded. The staff was very welcoming. The sole reason for not giving it 5 stars was the excessive stereo noise that continued unbated from mid-morning to quiet hours at 11 PM each day (or later as quiet hours were not enforced). We did every activity and ate every meal to the incessant thumping of bass. We're seasoned campers and actually prefer the noise and bustle of private campgrounds vs. state parks but this was overboard, especially when bad weather kept us inside much of the time. A couple of sites should not be allowed to dictate the ability of everyone else to choose the kind of camping experience they want to have. There should be some intervention by staff when it could even clearly be heard over by the office. A couple of loops through the campground to keep an eye on things throughout the day would go a long way. We won't cross this place off the list because otherwise it was fantastic, but it would make us hesitant to come back.

Stayed in the Conestoga wagon for 3 nights which was very fun. We normally tent camp so this was a treat! Since there's not a ton of info on the website about the wagons I'll add some info here. There are 2 sets of bunk beds, one queen bed with a full bed on top and a set of twin bunk beds. There's a A/C unit and a space heater tucked in the cabinet for those chilly nights. There's a fridge and freezer, coffee maker , toaster and microwave. There are a set of 5 private bathrooms with showers in the center of the campgrounds, you need quarters for the showers, I believe it was max $1 for 10 minutes with other options for shorter times. There are also a couple of bathroom stalls in front of the grounds next to the shop that has one shower stall in each the men's and women's restrooms. To me, the only downside was the campground was sandy everywhere, which really wasn't that big of a deal. There were lots of fun events that were inexpensive and fun for the whole family. Overall it was very fun and though we like exploring different campgrounds we would gladly return here.

I'm not sure how to rate this. We had fun, but I think it was more our kids enjoying the kids equipment and us relaxing. We had a site RIGHT by the jumping pillow thing. The kids enjoyed playing on the playgrounds on site. With that said, a lot is really run down. The playground by the wagons was the worst. Usable, yes, but really could use some updates. The arcade area had maybe half the games working and the change machine was inoperable. All the trash (popped balloons) by the jumping pillow should really be picked up. It looked dumpy, not to mention unsafe for toddlers or dogs that may put them in their mouths. There was also garbage on the ground (bottle caps etc). I understand its just common decency for people to pick up their own trash, however, campground staff should be cleaning up a well. The dog run area was nice. And it's a really beautiful location (tall pines etc). Golf carts drive way too fast as well. Our 2nd night someone took their lit up (LED lights) golf cart and SUPER loud bass rap music and parked it by the jumping pillow and just left it there on full blast at 830pm while they were jumping. Oir kids were sleeping in the camper and we were trying to relax. I was THAT person that called the office and I WAS impressed that the young lady who answered immediately responded herself and was out there in less than 5 minutes telling them to turn it off. That was appreciated. The biggest thing that got me and why the lower review was the giant shopping cart. 1) it's EXTREMELY loud and terrified our toddler for the rest of the day. 2) it is EXTREMELY dangerous. It's flew by very fast multiple times between our site and the children's play area. I can't believe it is allowed to go that fast right by the children's play area. If a child darted out it would be disastrous. And 3) I work in insurance and I cannot fathom how that isn't a liability issue and how that is even allowed at the campground. If I had to summerize my points: PROS: -Nice dog run -beautiful location -one nice kids park and also a nice jumping pillow -fast acting staff when called for a noise disturbance CONS: -run down/dirty/trash on ground -fast golf carts (unmonitored speed) -EXTREMELY dangerous (giant shopping cart and location of usage) -partially inoperable arcade -disrespectful campers (not the campsites issue, but should weed those folks out that can't be respectful and quiet) Probably won't return to this one.
