It was nice enough. Looks like it's mainly for seasonal visitors and friends of those seasonal. You get what you pay for. It's a cheap spot. Picnic table was practically falling apart. Firepit worked fine. When we showed up there was someone in our spot. Called the office and they moved us over. Then the person that was supposed to be in our new spot showed up. then they got moved. So the lack of communication is a bit rough but they got it sorted out. All in all it was a fun weekend but not a ton of amenities
We were at AJ Acres for just three days with our grandchildren. It could be a valuable park but....it is incredibly run down. Thick loose sand everywhere. There has been no obvious upkeep for years. Anything made of wood is beyond rotten. Picnic tables are warped, severely weathered and wiggly. The fishing dock is weathered and unsafe. The children's play area was is such a dangerous and unsafe condition we could in no way let the kids use it for fear of falling through and hitting rusty screws and nails. It appears they run the grey water from the seasonal parked above the play area down to the grassy area. Pictures of this is attached. There does not seem to be any park rules enforced so if your looking for a good night sleep this is not the place. A VERY small bundle of firewood was seven bucks.
Dark, gloomy, swamp. No signs, no directions or lights. Unkept grove and trees, with poorly maintained roads. Multiple golf carts everywhere with permanent residents eager to stop you. Very young kids driving golf carts with no direction or supervision. We did not even last one hour.
Great seasonal campground with large lots. Animals are welcomed Nice walking trails. Beach area is sandy and not all those rocks to hurt your feet. Nice soft sand to swim in. Pretty quiet during the week for relaxing. A nice little office for emergency essentials you may need like toilet paper and ice cream treats candy etc for the kiddos. The ground staff always trying to improve and keep things picked up. There are a lot of old campers on seasonal sites but overall most sites are kept up by seasonal campers. There is always openings for weekend campers and the bathhouse is pretty decent plus laundry room. It’s everyone’s responsibility to keep their areas picked up and clean from garbage. Overall not a bad seasonal campground. Lots of room to move around. Campers are not on top of each other like other campgrounds have. Lots of privacy here. Lots of nature and woods and wildlife.
