First off, I just want to say PLEASE READ ALL reviews before deciding on a camping spot. We did AFTER reserving this place and that was a mistake. Despite the bad reviews, we still decided to give it a try. This place is absolutely horrible! It does't even deserve a 1 STAR!!!Their rules are ridiculous! If your trying to have a good time with family and friends DO NOT consider this place! They have no consideration to privacy what's so ever! They will walk onto your site literally and tell you go...

If your trying to have a good time with family and friends DO NOT consider this place! They have no consideration to privacy what's so ever! They will walk onto your site literally and tell you go to bed. If your trying to sleep in your tent with music or even watching YOuTube, they will shine a light into your tent and tell you to turn it off. If they have given a verbal warning, consider yourself a target. After two verbal warnings, they WILL evict you. They have workers watching you from all around the park. The workers are seasonal members therefore, you have no idea people are watching you. The speed limit is 5mph in the park, yet they go faster than that on their golf carts. To top it off, their facilities are gross. They do not restock the bathrooms throughout the day at all. They decided to evict our family at 9 o'clock at night. Even though over half of our family and friends left earlier because of how they harassed us at night to go to bed. They waited all day to tell us,right before it was dark. We were originally told we had 20 minutes to get out, but my husband said that's "impossible!" Keep in mind we had our 7 kids, 1 pop up, and 4 tents. He said if we didn't leave, the police would be called for trespassing. Luckily, nobody was drinking because of the harassment we experienced from the previous night. But what would have happened,if we had been drinking? To top it off who tells someone to leave at dark? Why would they wait till 9pm to do that?
My husband's credit card was also charged $200.00 with no specific explanation of any fee's. At the bottom of the the eviction letter, it stated there will be a fee imposed for an eviction. But nothing was explained on what the fee was for. We thought they would just keep our deposit. I am pretty sure the campsite was picked up pretty well but keep in mind it was dark when we left. We had to
use our headlights on our cars to see anything. But $200.00???? They are profiting on what they think is
"Unacceptable noise!" Highway robbery!!!!Not only were we forced to leave a day early, they kept our deposit, plus charged us an eviction fee. We paid for 3 nights but was only there for 2 nights. It ended up costing over $700.00 just for camping with nothing FABULOUS at all! I do not recommend this! We also reported this to the local sheriff. He said it isn't right and here's about this all the time, but can't really do anything about it. I do not recommend this place what so ever!
