"We visited here a couple years ago and hope to visit in April."
— D Beaulieu
⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Very centrally located. Very nice people. A great pool but the pump was broken. The site is not level for water and electric unless you have another 25 ft extension cord, but I parked on the unlevel site and used blocks to level and then everything was ok. They do have 30 and 50 and service."
— JOHN ALLEVI
"Was stopped at the door, just trying to look for some water and something to eat after a long walk. Was told I wasn’t allowed in, and that they don’t serve food and couldn’t offer any water… Kind of odd given all these reviews praising the place for it’s food and drink. The lady who refused any and all hospitality was herself quite bereft of civility herself, choosing to speak down to me in the most condescending tone one can picture. I really mean it too, I really was only looking for water to drink, food if available, after a long day in the park. Was dressed plainly and was too far in the throws of a hypoglycemic attack to be anything but passive. So I had to find another place. Very sad to know there are people in our community who would unironically refuse a glass of water."
— Petra Patia

"Never went in was just at the pavilion for a cookout"
