Our school took a field trip to Camp Rucker for the full day so we reserved it for the night before since checkout is at 2pm. We had our bus and at least 10 parents' vehicles with us. We had plenty of space and the kids loved that they could walk down and play in the water. The bathrooms were spotless. We had such a wonderful time and made fantastic memories. I highly recommend this campground!

Apparently the site was closed for COVID but the website didn’t reflect that. It was also 20+ miles down a rough dirt road to get there. The bathrooms were closed and dirty. Terrible experience.

This site was closed. Your website says if a site remains closed you would cancel our reservation and refund the whole amount. I have emailed several times about this. It says if I cancel it I would only get a portion of my money back so I waited and emailed for you to refund my money. I do not know who to contact or how to get my money because I would have gone if the site had been open as I have an RV and do not need restrooms. Please refund my money
