I could seriously go on and on about this place! My husband and I stayed here for an entire summer for work purposes and it was AMAZING!! Most of the spots are very secluded which makes it feel very personal. In most campgrounds the spots are about on top of each other, but not this one!!! Not to mention there were a ton of small trails, and some even lead to other campsites which I thought was funny😂 The price was very fair and the family that helps run it are super kind and helpful with whatever you need! Most of the spots have a ton of trees in and around the sites which helps with a lot of good shade! My favorite spot is 22, our yard was HUGE, and this campground is very quiet and peaceful! Our dog absolutely loved it here, maybe even more than we did!! The pool was clean and the bathrooms were too, although they’re pretty outdated. Oaks is seriously my favorite campground we’ve ever been to, and we’ve been in the road for work for 2 years! I would come back again and again, this place is gorgeous!

Lovely campsite! Very well manicured! Nicely spaced, secluded lots. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Wish we could have stayed longer! The kids even found a cool, "secret" tree tunnel down by the river that went along for quite a ways!

If I could give this campground 10 stars, I would :) We enjoyed the campground so much. It is set among the most beautiful scenery and our girls loved every second of the parks, the trails, and of course the pool. If that wasn't enough, I can't say enough about the amazing management there, Erica is beyond wonderful to work with. We will absolutely be back in the future!

Great place. If you are able to camp with someone who is an employee at Excel take advantage of it. Sites are large and run very well.
