We had a great time with my now 12-year-old's birthday party.

Very nice, clean and fun campground. The only negative is the cost of items from the store and cafe, they are outrageous! Paid $7 for starter for campfire and went to Walmart and got a 3 pack of starters for less. Also $8 for a Dr Pepper at the cafe! Those prices are not family friendly.

Great Escapes Brandon was perfect for our family vacation! We visited with four family units total. We personally stayed in the Shadow Rock cabin as a family of six. The bunk room was perfect for our 4 kids. The cabin was clean and stocked with plenty of towels and kitchen accessories. We rented a limo golf cart which was 100% a good purchase. We would not have wanted to walk as the resort is so big! On site activities are a good mix of included vs extra cost so you could have plenty to do without having to spend any extra money. The camp directors were friendly and very involved. We cannot wait to go back and stay again! 10/10 recommend.

First together vacation of all the kids and almost all of our grandkids. We all had a blast! Every single worker had smile on their face, was so very kind and nice. Workers blowing off grass and dirt by playground often, wiping down seats at pool,. Loved how much activities there was for the kids! And ones that costs money was reasonable on amount. Cabins were close by each other. Our rescue doggie had a great time and loved the dog park area! Kids loved the pool, wibit (obstacle course) and the playground the most!

I seriously can’t recommend this campsite enough, especially if you have kids!It rained probably 60% of the time we were there, and we still had the best time ever—which should tell you how awesome this place is. There was so much to do that we couldn’t even fit it all into one weekend.We did sand crafts for $3 and rented a kids’ Jeep for $15, but besides that, pretty much everything we did was included with our stay. The foam slip-and-slide, parades, karaoke, playground, coffee and ice cream shop, and all the other activities kept us busy the whole time. The staff was so friendly and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. I also really appreciated all the safety precautions they had in place.The bathrooms were clean and air-conditioned. I’d definitely recommend using the bigger bathrooms on the other side of the coffee shop if you want a little more room.This was my family’s first vacation together, and it’s one we’ll never forget. It’s super kid-friendly but still fun for adults too. We rented a cabin, a cottage, and two RV sites, and every one of them was great.We brought our dogs along too, and they loved the dog park and felt right at home. Just make sure to read the campsite descriptions carefully when booking—we thought all the campsites came with kennels, but they don’t.Overall, this place was clean, safe, organized, and so much fun. We made memories that will last forever, and we’re already talking about our next trip back. We can’t wait to come again!

Very friendly staff from front office to grounds keepers and laundry. The pools are clean restrooms and showers are very clean. They have a little Cafe with good food, ice cream to drinks and friendly staff. Their is a obstacle course in lake area that's awesome for any age to try. Activities for the children with awesome staff to plan and work with them. It's worth a visit for the whole family! You will have plenty to do..

This was our first time camping in our popup and at a place like this. It was the most enjoyable experience! We are already excited about booking again. The staff were all so kind and accommodating. My whole family enjoyed the different activities for the theme week and obviously loved the pools, wibit, and the playground!

The atmosphere is very welcoming and family friendly. I love how much there is to do and they don't mind if parents join in on the fun, too. The foam slip n slide was a definite favorite!

Overall, the stay was excellent and very enjoyable! The activities were well planned and even when they were not able to carry them out, the staff informed everyone in a timely manner. The facilities were well-maintained and sparkling clean. Loved it!Wednesday night, however, there was a loud group of teenagers that made the use of the pool impossible with young children. There was a similar group earlier in the day on Wednesday at the Wibit. I know these behaviors are out of alignment with the values of the campground, so I am sure these activities just went unnoticed by the staff. The communication about life jacket rentals could have been a little clearer. I would suggest asking customers at check-in if they will need to rent life jackets during the stay and charging for them then and marking the bracelets then. That will save your customers the trip back to the registration desk to pay for them once they're already at the Wibit. We noticed that this confused a few other guests while we there as well and interrupted the flow of wrangling children and gear. One last bit of criticism might be to restrict access to the pool area from dogs or require them to be leashed. We saw two dogs growl at people near the pool. Overall, it was a really relaxing week, and we will definitely consider returning.

We stayed at Riverview and everything was great. We were only there to fish for a couple days, but could tell this property really catered to families. There were many kids and activities for kids. Would be a great place to stay for a family.
