Stayed from mid Nov 2019 to mid March 2020. This started as a good stay but quickly turned bad. They don't tell you they have over 50 OLEANDER bushes throughout the campground. These plants are very poisonous from root to flowers. Some sites you back right into the bushes or next to them. Their "volunteer" employees trim these bushes and are not the best at clean up. If you have dogs, other pets, and small children, ask for a site with no oleander. Also, if you have permission to use a currently... Read More

These plants are very poisonous from root to flowers. Some sites you back right into the bushes or next to them. Their "volunteer" employees trim these bushes and are not the best at clean up. If you have dogs, other pets, and small children, ask for a site with no oleander. Also, if you have permission to use a currently unused room, they will kick you out if a "volunteer" employee tells them to kick you out. I was using a poker room to print from my computer to my printer (I asked first and no event was scheduled for 2 days). A "volunteer" employee got mad and had the general manager kick me out of the room under the excuse I was using too much WiFi. I was using another guest's WiFi account so I was really mad. I also saw "volunteer" workers kick adults and kids out of the main activity room over an hour before a bingo game (takes ten minutes to set up for bingo). The adult asked for 15 minutes to finish cutting some plastic pieces for a craft project but was told to pack up immediately. I would only recommend this campground if you are a long term previous camper, do not have children, and don't mind being bossed around and being treated like an ignorant child.
Volunteer worker is someone who takes free lot rent in lieu of pay.
