We only stayed one night and as usual we wish we had more time to enjoy the area. Staff was very cooperative with getting our 71' total total rig into the best site with easy exits.

Not many places you can go to get a FHU for $40 a night! We were pleasantly surprised. This campground was formerly a golf course! So there are lots of paved paths (golf cart paths) to walk and a couple of pond/lakes. Friendly man met us as we pulled and and greeted us with a smile and directions to our site.

So there are lots of paved paths (golf cart paths) to walk and a couple of pond/lakes. Friendly man met us as we pulled and and greeted us with a smile and directions to our site. We had a 70' pull thru site that was gravel, but it was clean and in a great location. The shower house was individual units that were super clean and air conditioned. the way the Interstate angled, you could hear the roar from the road, but it wasn't unbearable. There are spots at the other end of the park, that it would be much more quiet. If we pass through on our way somewhere again, we would absolutely stay again.
Beautiful, restful, full hookups, no noise

I actually wish I could stay longer and just chill out. My kids are complaining of no Wi-fi but for adults, we are working and travel with our own Mi-Fi (keeping kids off them), so no sweat. Reservations are done online. Everything so easy peasy.

We stayed here for a one night stopover between Wyoming and Florida. Nice little campground in the middle of the forest. Didn’t hear too much road noise. Nice level spot, had everything we needed. Checked in after hours, all instructions were waiting on us outside the office. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice campground. Easy access. There is road noise, but not overwhelming. Clean area. Clean bathrooms. Sites are a little close together for my liking. I would definitely stay here again.
Enjoyable experience

We really enjoyed this park and will stay there again and stay longer to enjoy the area. I’d like to come back and go biking. Each site has water and power, fire pit, and picnic table. We had a pull through. It’s built on an old golf course and we very much enjoyed taking a walk after dinner and after breakfast the next morning.
Really pretty and cheap park with great walking trails

It wasn't so close as to be terribly loud either. The things this place had going for it are the price, the wonderful paved walking trails around various ponds and lakes and the really sweet staff.I had an issue with my AC and called the office and Angela brainstormed with me and helped me figure it out. She didn't have to do that but she really wanted to help. Then later her husband came by just to check on me and make sure everything was still working. The world needs more people like those 2.There is no cable here but got plenty of OTA channels. Cell service was really good unboosted on ATT (30d/l) and Verizon was week even with a booster but usable.The sites were very long and spacious but pretty unlevel.

The staff was unbelievably friendly. The sites are great. It’s close to parks & food. We had cell phone service, which is a plus for us. We’ll definitely be back to explore more.
Great off-season stop over.

We stayed for one night. Conveniently located off the interstate. We had the whole place to ourselves. Did a little hiking- lots of good trails. We would have rode our bikes around if we had more time. Sites were spacious and well-maintained. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. Hoping they’ll get a playground eventually.
Great grounds, near the interstate.

Great grounds, near the interstate. Great location for exploring Shawnee National Forest’s eastern half. Sites are fairly level and hook up services are new and placed well. Bathrooms were new and very clean.
A Gem!

Loved this new campground, large pull through spaces, 2 ponds, lots of room between sites, great walking on previous cart paths, this was a golf course at one time so grounds are beautiful. We liked it, the owner, and the area so much stayed an extra night. Look forward to our next visit!!
