Visitors often enjoy the friendly and helpful atmosphere, with many repeat guests who love fishing, the playgrounds, and the family-friendly activities such as hayrides and fishing tournaments. The area is dog-friendly, and many appreciate the peaceful, secluded spots that Rick, the owner, personally helps to set up. While some amenities like the bathrooms could use updates, overall, Cross's Campground is a welcoming, fun, and affordable place suitable for families, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. It’s noted as a hidden gem where everyone feels at home, making it a great spot for camping and outdoor fun.
