If you are planning to stay in the cabins, this review is for you:
First, the website has a list of items the rustic include and do not include. If you missed it like I did, do not be surprised when you get there and realize that the rustic cabins DO NOT HAVE A BATHROOM OR ANY RUNNING WATER AT ALL. I feel like that needs to be explained much better on the website. The only things in the rustic cabins (aka sheds) is a microwave, coffee maker, a small chair, a bed frame made of 2x4s and plywood, and mattresses from the 80s that have the worst holy plastic covering over them with a little dirt sprinkled on top (no flooring, no walls aside from all plywood). The door is locked on the outside by a master lock and on the inside by a lock you'd see in a bathroom that holds the bathroom stalls locked. Thankfully when we stayed here, our friends were with us so we just bunked with them in their RV. I would not have felt comfortable sleeping in a shed with mattresses that appeared to have been slept on by thousands of people. I did bring my concern about the mattresses up to the front desk the first day we were there but was informed they didn't have any new mattresses and when I said they looked like they were from the 80s she said, "yeah they probably are." I also called after we left for the weekend to ensure management knew that we did not stay in their "cabin" and let them know it was time for a remodeling of them, they just said okay, we will tell the management. As for the activities, my kids enjoyed the tie dying of t-shirts and the pool area. This pool area is quite old and dated but it served its purpose of entertainment. This whole place needs a full update. I did want to end on a good note and say that there were several employees that were around that were super friendly! The staff were great with the kids and I especially wanted to mention a super friendly staff (I never caught his name) that helped us load the firewood we purchased, came to get the trash from the campgrounds and I even saw him in the store hanging out. He definitely was the highlight of our stay!
Truly a great experience for the family! We took our 1 and 3 year old children and they loved everything about this place. The staff were kind and there was.aleays something to do. There is a schedule posted each day with activities like arts and crafts or rides on the train. It really felt like going to a theme park for a fraction of the price. Just a great experience all around.
My wife and I stayed here in our pop-up with our 3 year old daughter and had a blast! Don't expect anything fancy but we had so much fun. The bathrooms were always very clean and the staff for the most part was very friendly. When we are camping we know we are kind of "roughing" it so older amenities don't necessarily bother us as long as they are clean. The water slide was a ton of fun, we couldn't keep our toddler off of it! I even went down it and had the most fun I've had in years, it was pure enjoyment! They also had a cool little general store that you could get anything from fishing supplies and things for your RV to pizza and ice cream. They also had disc golf, putt putt golf, multiple playgrounds, a pool table, arcade games, a bounce pad and mat and tons of activities for the kids. I'm sure there are certain people that this campground may not be for but my family and I had an amazing weekend here! I'm hopeful they faired well in the storm because my family and I are already planning our next trip!
Nice size cabins that are neat and clean but a little dated. Floor under the shower seems worn away. Afraid to stand in certain parts of the shower because I don't want it to give way. Everyone seems friendly and accommodating. Lots to do here and really convenient off of I-10.
