My family and I stayed here for a week in May 2019. Initially we had high expectations due to the review and photos. It lived up to some of them. Lets look as the Pro's:
Staff was very friendly and accommodating. When we first checked in our original site was a mud pit and they switched us to a less muddy site. Additionally the main house restrooms were very clean and well maintained. The store offered a good selection for common forgotten items for purchase.
Moving along to the Con's:
Initially you are welcomed by what looks like a run down lodge and a campground full on long term campers and module homes. Some look amazing and are well kept while others look like they have not seen a visitor in years. About 75% of the grounds are occupied by the long term residents leaving only a few sites available to those of us who travel. During my stay in addition to the main bath house I visited two others on the grounds and to great disappointment they look to be in dire disrepair and need a lot of attention. It looks like the owners just appear to do temp fixes to keep things running rather than proper repairs. The roads were once paved but have only seen added gravel in sections over the years. The sewer connections are all open connections so if you stay bring some weights to hold your lines down.
My biggest complaint I would have to say is the ability to reach the staff. I called several times, different days, and different times, both before arriving and after arriving and never got anyone to answer a phone. I even walked down to the main office and asked the member working the store and they laughed it off saying I just didn't answer it. I'm sure if your reading this, you may ask how was I able to book my site. Facebook Messenger, Yes I had to message them on Facebook and after a few back and forth messages and missed phone calls we finally got it booked. (That should have been a sign)
My second biggest complaint is enforcement of the rules. There are signs posted everywhere that the speed limit is 5 mph and that all vehicles must be driven by licensed drivers, and not to operate golf carts with gas engines after 11PM yet on Friday and Saturday night my family was kept up till after midnight by the sounds of people driving around. During the day I watch as cart after cart passed by with children no more then 14 years of age driving carts. Some obeying the speed and rules and others making them up as they go. The part that put me off was when I watch a grounds truck watch as kids sped past them and all they did was laugh about it. What is the point of rules if your not going to enforce them?
Now lets be honest. Over all this is a nice place to stay for an over night'er. I wouldn't, however, recommend it for a vacation. Nice place which is why I gave it three starts but it really needs a lot of work and...

We were told adult swim should only be called if there is a certain amount of adults in the pool but we were not given the exact number, almost as if they don’t actually have one.
