The park was exceptional and the volunteers were very friendly and helpful. The only negative concern was the guests a few sites away were playing football in front of our site which we thought was rude and inconsiderate and ruined our evening. Thank you for allowing us to share.

We had a good stay in site 105. We were nearly alone during our mid week stay. If all the campsites had been full we would have been cramped. When we toured the park we saw many more campsites that would have suited us better. We did have good cell service on T-Mobile but the tree cover at our spot wouldn’t allow our StarLink work. In general the park was very well kept and manicured.

The people running it are awesome. I hope y’all don’t lease it out to some private people and raise the prices. It’s awesome the way it’s working.

Our site was next to the woods. We had shade all day, trails ran right behind us and the bath house was close.
