I simply adore this place! It is very relaxing and tranquil which is exactly what my family needed. The staff was laid back and very inviting. I liked how much they helped us find the perfect spot and more. The park was so well maintained it was a beauty to walk through. The amenities were nice and gave us everything we needed for our stay. In my opinion the activities were great as they go people outside to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The location is perfect as it was a really short drive to get food (or shopping if that’s what you are into). Overall this was a great place we found! - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
