This well-designed RV park that is only 2 years old could easily get 4 stars from me with just a little effort. We paid $39 for a one-night stay.

Pros: Wide, asphalt interior roads with concrete pads and full hook-ups at every site. Sites (about 120) are wide with plenty of space between them. Plenty of grass and some trees. Quiet and sits back off of Rt. 290. No issues with electric, water or sewer hookups. Co-located with travel plaza for easy access to gas/diesel and small store. Bathrooms were clean.

Cons: DO NOT turn on Rolling Oaks to access the campground. You enter the campground through the Texaco Travel Plaza and must turn RIGHT behind the Quonset hut to get to the camp office/check-in. IGNORE THE SIGN THAT TELLS YOU TO TURN LEFT AT THE HUT OR YOU WILL END UP IN THE TRUCK FUEL LANES. Most available sites weren’t level but they let you ride through and pick the site you want. Definitely take the time to do this. Just a couple of boards leveled our motor home easily. The bathrooms were beautiful when built but a poor design of the showers cause water to get on the walls. Every bathroom had rotted drywall with black mold outside of the shower. It appears this has been a problem since the campground opened. There was plenty of grass throughout the campground but it hadn’t been cut in quite some time. This makes it hard to walk and pickup after dogs. No campground map or instructions provided at check-in and the webpage only gives rates and a number for reservations.

Summary: Adding to the webpage, adding better signage, cutting the grass and repairing the bathrooms would be a great start to making this an excellent RV park. It could even become a destination campground for families by adding picnic tables, fire rings, a playground and some activities for kids.
