This was our first time staying at Happy Holiday RV Resort. We travel in a 34 foot class A RV. Brittany and Eric exemplify and model customer experience. Started with being asked what spot we wanted, Erick taking me to each site on a golf cart to make sure we liked the site and ended with him escorting us to the site to make sure I was comfortable driving into the site. Thanks for making our first experience at HH RV Resort a pleasant and good experience!
One start would be stretching it!
We stayed here one month among 21 nonrunning and disabled autos and pick up trucks, two RVs (one was being canniblaised, the other just deteriorating on schedule), a Box truck, and a box trailer and one small tent camper that was unusable. These junkyard vehicles were interspersed with abandon and rotting tires of all sizes. The bathroom were not disabled accessible. We lost power three times with one week and the management told us that our surge protector was no good, but it was determined the problem was in the pedestal not transferring one leg of the 50 amp power.
One further note, several pedestals were held together with duct tape. Apparently the owner is not reinvesting enough to repair even the essentials.
The Internet is flakey to say the best. When you complain to the management they will tell you the you are the only one to complain and the WIFI was designed to handle 250 campers and in the winter there were about 45-50. The problem is that you can connect to they campground's WIFI system but ti does not connect to the carrier. You can get to the WIFI system but not to the Internet more times than not.
On the plus side, the staff is friendly and cooperative in a limited capacity. The prices are a little high for an 80ish year old park when the newer park a mile away is several hundred dollars less for monthly campers.
Perhaps in the summer the trees will be leafed out and provide valuable shade, but during the winter we recommend you look around for better digs.
Other reviewers expect 5 star service and accommodations, like a Sandals Resort, for less than the price of a budget=Motel 6 or EZ-8. However, this place is great. Good location, nice folks, open all year long and safe and affordable at a reasonable price. Glad I stayed here.
Honestly, if I could leave zero stars, I would. Upon arrival, there was no clear signage stating where to park for check in, so after we stopped at the stop sign, we pulled through and parked on the road by the playground so we could walk in to the office. We figured this was a good spot to get out of the way, since it felt like we were in the way with our truck and camper. Boy, were we wrong. As we were getting out, a crotchety man in a golf cart pulled up next to us and insulted our intelligence by asking if we could read and that there was a stop sign back there, to which I replied, that there was no sign with directions on what you are supposed to do for check in. He told us to stay where we are and to just come into the office to check in, which is what we were doing. Then he had to escort us to our spot and stand there as if we didn't know how to park. The spots were incredibly tiny and you have to share a fire pit with the spot next to you. The pool on the website looked pretty amazing and we were going to at least try that out, but when we walked over to the pool it looked as if it hadn't been in working order in years, covered in algae and smelled like garbage! We basically hid out in our camper because we were afraid of doing something wrong and getting yelled at. We've never felt more unwelcome at a place and we will NEVER stay there again.
