The best place ever to go as a couple or hang out with family and friends. People there are like family to us. Very clean and safe and very beautiful!

Because of recent storms, the site we originally booked was under water and we had to be moved. The new site put us up on the hill and not ideal for a big rig. The road is narrow as are the sites and they are just barely long enough for a 35’ motorhome, with little space left for a tow vehicle. In fact, we had to move our tow vehicle so the campers across from us could get into their site.
The sites are on top of each other, with a few that you’re practically sharing space with your neighbor. And as typical in most COE parks, there is no signage indicating what way you need to go to get to a specific site.
The bathrooms however are very clean and kept clean on a regular basis.

Really nice campground. Clean restrooms, easy dump station, great scenery and would be awesome for a fall camp site.

We really enjoyed our stay at Waveland Park, beautiful, peaceful and quiet! Only issue I had was the fact the water connect was so far from our RV. Had to go back to town to get additional hose, maybe should put that info in the camping spot description!

Always love our stays in Waveland Park. We stayed in #17, pad was level but a bit of a trick to get into during winter months when most of park is closed. Water at this site is down a pretty steep bank so it requires a long water hose and good knees to get it hooked up.
