Park was loud with lots of quads being driven around by teenagers. Very close to the road.
Otherwise, beautiful and peaceful. Great "lazy river" in nature.

Overall the area was excellent! However the site was very tight for a 30 ft TT, which is why I rated it the way I did. When you open the door there was a tree right in front of it. You couldn’t even put the awning out at all because of it. There was plenty of shade and room for a tent if you have extra people! Pine view lake is very close for water sports! The campground is close to the road, but it does get quiet once the sun goes down. The river that passes by the campground is good for fishing and tubing. The river was a short walk from our site!

Campsite check in is a little later than I would like it to be. The campground was clean, bathroom facilities were clean and the area was kept up well. We enjoyed our stay over all.

I feel the sadness from those that have change of our beautiful lands and forests but will not update the camp sites to allow To days RVs to use them. We do not need all of the amenities but we have to reserve a double site to get a single. Perception was great but for this one issue

Perception is real nice and clean, the host was nice and friendlyI
But stay away from the Meadow campground, my wife went for a walk-on the road to lower Meadows Two old toothless creepy camp hosts in a golf cart came charging right towards her, down the wrong side of the dirt road throwing dust all over her and coming within just inches of hitting her. She had to jump off the road into the weeds. There were no other cars on the road and it was totally uncalled for. It made her very uncomfortable and upset.

We rename this park deception park because we could not even park our RV in the site that we had reserved. So we went back to talk to the host and tell them there was no way and he was not there and there was no way to get a hold of him and there was also no Verizon coverage there.Definitely that park was too small for our 40 foot RV.

The camp ground host threatened to shoot me in the head if I ever come buy wood from him again (you can't bring wood in so you have to purchase it through the host) It was 8pm and still light out side and he had to lock the gate at 10pm. And there is signs everywhere saying check in with campground host. Besides the awful man threatening my life, it was a good site to camp and I would go again if my life was not threatened for buying wood from the host. I will be pressing charges so that someone else dose not have there camping ruined by a angry old man who dose not want to do his job. They need to screen their host better!!!

Upon arrival
Pavilion not clean
Grass not mowed
Fire pit dirty
Garbage everywhere in campground and along pathways
Nothing like condition in previous years
Listened and smelled a truck pumping vault toilet over 41/2 hours. Sick till the next day
Only reason we stayed was the kindness of the Host Lynn. He wasn’t even working yet.
Save your money.

The camp hosts were excellent. The bathrooms were the cleanest I've seen them in a couple of years.
