Beautiful park but the constant noise from the paper plant next door ruined it for us. It was very loud on humid nights during the week and made it difficult for my wife to sleep. If it weren't for that noise we would definately visit again. The host was great, the park was wonderful, grounds well taken care of. Our site was good. Sewer would be a wonderful improvement. The bathrooms were clean with good hot water.

We found out there is a problem with ants. We put down DE powder and did not see any in camper. Parks that have ant problems should have the park professionally sprayed. Also heard there was a person in campground that was stealing from other campers. We were there 4 days and he moved 3 or 4 times to different sites. We had to keep everything put away that could be carried off and leave outdoor lights on. This person should be banned from this campground. We should not have to worry about that sort of thing when camping. We know what his vehicle looks like and if he is there next time we camp there we will probably leave the campground.

We’ve been coming here for years. So beautiful, relaxing and pleasant. Conveniently located to shop or go out to eat, if desired.
