We've lived in this campground for almost 2 years now while traveling for work and it has been very safe not terrible or what people make it out to be. We have enjoyed making this our temporary home, it is kid & pet friendly. We love how our Brookside Police officers come through and patrol the neighborhood on a regular basis to make sure we are always safe. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to camp, play at the creek or kayak at five mile creek. Also has a playground and nice walking track. Very peaceful....
