The Boo Boo Cabin we could not use the TV because the workers there gave us a fire stick for a Roku TV then we called and had to call three different times and they finally brought down a remote for a Roku TV and it still wouldn’t work and they didn’t bother to do anything about it because he said that there was nothing that he knew else to do then there was a leak in the cabin at the end of the bed where the air-conditioning was and the bed was sinking into the floor and then in your bathroom, you had electrical tape holding up the tile one ring on the shower curtain and we got stuck in the handicap. Bathroom couldn’t get out and then later that day there were three little girls they were crying in there screaming for help because they were locked in and we happen to be walking by and was able to get them out and they were in panic mode. . Mikayla got in the bathroom with the baby because she said I want I want you to help me get a shower with the baby so I can get him showered, cause I didn’t have anything else for shower you know so so we did and when we went to leave, we couldn’t get it unlocked or you know and finally we finally got it but later it might’ve even been the next day. We was walking by and we heard these little girls crying Help and Mikayla was able to calm down and listen turn it and I’ll tell you if it’s unlocking OK it’s still a lot turn it the other way and then you could tell they were panicking and finally she said OK right there. OK now let’s pull the door real hard and they were one of them was like you could tell she was already lost it and so like it’s OK it’s OK and you could barely hear him and we had to be right there on that door to hear him cause you couldn’t hear him. I didn’t go back in that one and I checked the door before I went in the next one make sure I want to go get stuff. I love that you got those at Walmart. I don’t like these. I like the way these shorts feel a lot, but I wish they were longer, but I have some of those that are longer like that. Remind me to look before we leave about that at oil did you get?9

Our stay at your campground was not pleasant and we will not be returning1.the staff was rude and unhelpful several timeThis first being checkin2. we could not bring our golf cart and could not rent one because they were out (Called several time but no one answered phone prior to arrival )3 the roads are horrible and washed outOur camp site 325 was washed and many water spouts leaking and flooded our camp site it stayed wet the whole weekend4 they offer specials per activity sheet and ask in cafe and they say we have no clue they don’t tell us anything so you can pay regular price (we ask about burger special)5 pool closed for thunder but when ask staff about policy or when it will reopen was told when you see people in it. Later Saturday found out it for 30 mins everytime and timer restarts everytime it thunders or lightning6 was also told no day pass would be given for holiday weekend and that was untrue several people in pool Friday had passesPool was packed and overcrowded already for holiday weekendThey only have one pool for day passes and campers7. The offer all these activities most were unorganized and most all of them you must pay forKaraoke they had no internet so could not play songsWaterslide is for 1 hour the whole weekend for whole campgroundLake ride toys they only have one8 went to cafe Saturday and it took 20 mins to place order because the register would not work for them to take your order and they were very rude also had to ask for everything I ordered several times.These are just a few things

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Addressed hot water issue in cabin promptly and made sure we had what we needed.Only negative input would be allowing day pass people to access pool/slide area on what seemed like an extremely busy holiday. Was to crowded for young kids (8-10yrs old).

We recently stayed at site 219 and 218, and unfortunately this was one of the most disappointing campground experiences we’ve had. Considering what this campground charges, we expected a much better experience.The first issue was our campsite itself. Site 218 was extremely unlevel, making it difficult and time-consuming to get our camper set up correctly. For the premium price they charge, I would expect campsites to be properly graded and maintained.The roads throughout the campground were another major problem. Many of them were washed out and in rough condition, making it difficult to drive through the park comfortably. It feels like basic maintenance has been neglected.We also ran into maintenance issues at campsite 219. The water spigot was broken off and actually had to use a pair of pliers just to turn the water on. That is something campers should never have to deal with.One of the biggest disappointments was the giant jumping pillow. My kids always look forward to it. It’s advertised as one of the park’s attractions, but it wasn’t operating during our stay. When you’re paying resort prices, you expect the advertised amenities to be available and in working order.What really pushed this experience over the edge was learning that, after already paying a premium for our campsite, campers are expected to pay an additional $9 per person, per day just to use the pool and water park. That was a huge surprise and made an already expensive trip feel even more overpriced. At a campground like this, those amenities should be included in the camping fee or, at the very least, made much more obvious before booking.Overall, this campground simply doesn’t provide the value its prices suggest. Between the unlevel campsite, washed-out roads, broken or unusable amenities, maintenance issues like the faulty water spigot, and the extra daily charge for the pool and water park, we left feeling like we spent far more than the experience was worth.We won’t be returning, and unfortunately I can’t recommend it to others. There are many campgrounds that are better maintained, include more amenities in the price, and provide a much better overall camping experience for less money.

Pros: Great for family fun! Many like minded families trying to enjoy time with the kids. The activities throughout the day are fun, the pool and splash pad are fun, riding around on the golf cart, and the lake is all fun for the kids. Side note - BRAD!! He’s a teenage worker and is absolutely amazing. He works hard and has the best attitude to make sure families enjoy the best experiences during their vacation.Cons: Bedding in the cabins. When you pay about $200/night you expect to be able to sleep on the mattresses provided. Well, you won’t. So no sleep for the parents does not help with the busy days ahead. Bring a topper for the mattress and your own pillows. It’s camping so treat it like tent camping, even in a cabin. Very few utensils, towels, or any amenities you’d read about on their website being provided. We had about 2 of everything (spoons, knives, forks, etc…) and there were 5 of us. It’s not cleaned well so don’t expect a fresh rental cabin near or on the lake. It’s a covered room with a bath/shower and excellent AC so way better than a tent but nothing compared to most places that charge that much for a room. Most of the park is run by teenagers. They are friendly and willing but they’re not trained well and basically left on their own to run things. Not many adults around so parents need to be present at all times with younger children, which is expected anyway, but some situations occur and no adult can be found. It’s just teens trying to figure out what to do in a jam. Not that they’re not willing or nice it’s just they’re not trained well.You can imagine this. You walk into a cabin that seems very clean, smells clean and has a very nice welcoming atmosphere. Everything else you experience you probably won’t pay much attention to; like a cheap mattress. However, when you walk into a dirty cabin, cobwebs and food on the front porch, open the door and it’s very stale. Open the refrigerator to put your groceries in and there’s crumbs on the shelving and in the drawers. Walk into the bathroom and there’s water stains/lime covering the sink faucet that could likely be easily removed with lime cleaner. The couch has crumbs and sand all over it. Make your way into the master bedroom and lay down in the mattress. You can feel every single springs and they “pop” with every move. They poke into you no matter how you lay. You’re basically ready to leave as soon as you get there.Side note - I went to the registration desk first thing after we slept there our first night. Two teenage girls working the desk and I tried to ask about the mattress situation. They said they would send housekeeping. I could have turned around and left but I knew they had no clue who I was or what cabin I was in. So I asked them where they would send housekeeping and they giggled. Then they asked what cabin I was in. I asked to speak with someone over housekeeping and they told me it was them. So I argued my case about the mattress and they assured me someone from house keeping would come check. No one ever came.

-Brought my own golf cart, but couldn't use it.. the park charges $74 per day to rent "their" carts. They said i had to be handicapped because Im guessing that makes a difference in golf cart driving.- went to play bingo and discovered we had to bring our own Candy to basically win it back from the park.- zero wifi or internet at the campsites.- there's laundry available but 90% of the machines are broken and theres NOWHERE on the campground to get quarters.- Once I was able to get quarters somewhere else, the dryers didn't work and I had to hang a clothes line inside my RV overnight for clothes to dry.- Mini golf was free.. GREAT! Oh I forgot to mention there are not enough golf balls for more than about 8 ppl to play so we were out of luck.- The mini golf course was also in VERY bad shape.
