Awesome, welcoming staff. They guide you through all of the location, amenities and activities. Eager to answer any questions that you may have. Wonderful buffet, at a great price. Pool is awesome as well. Not hot and very refreshing.

We stayed at the campsite with electric and water. It's a little close as far as proximity to the person next to you. However, the bathrooms were clean, but did run out of toilet paper on a holiday weekend, so make sure to take extra.
We really enjoyed our stay!
