Guest ★ 5 · Jun 2026I really liked the dishwashing station near the restrooms. It’s nice for those of us who don’t have luxury campers.
Guest ★ 1 · Jun 2026This is the worse place to go. There is nothing for kids and they had tree limbs all over the campground and they dont mow anything.
Guest ★ 5 · Jun 2026New owners just took over the park and are doing a great job getting it ready for campers. Sadly they have to remove Ash trees due to disease which is causing extra cleanup. Our site was cleared and level. Bathroom and laundry were clean. Owners were friendly and helpful. Definitely would return if in the area. Great place to relax and watch the corn grow!
