Water is murky, but it makes sense because it's a lake. About four benches were taken from other people/families because a family refused to rent the pavilion. Had many water cases from Sam's Club (about 3 cases), a couple of different pop varieties from Sam's Club (4 cases of 12 packs), and a bunch of snacks? Same person left flags in the sand, Jordan. Not sure why, guy was by himself.

The "swimming lake" is full of plants, mud on the "beach" and sticks in the water. I couldn't believe it. The children's play areas haven't been touched in years it seems, (falling apart). The people who stay here all summer seem nice except the people are drunk driving around blasting Toby Keith at midnight. They're driving golf carts thank god. Seems like there's absolutely no rules here and someone will get hurt badly one day. I'll never return here again. There are several campgrounds near by that are much nicer and cleaner.

If you are used to a quiet, serene camping experience to visit with family, or get away from the…read morenoise of daily life, this is not the camp for you. The highway noise from I-76 only a few feet away is deafening at all hours of the day. And while they do have lots of nice amenities like the swimming pond, they really lose their luster when you have to yell just to have a conversation with people in a small circle. Also they also will nickel and dime you like you wouldn't believe.... A small tent on a site with a camper is not allowed we had to pay $110 to get another site. A card key to leave during the day is a $10 deposit. They only have 220V hookups, but for $5 you can have an adapter to 110V. Swimming on the slide will be fun, after you rent a life jacket for $5. Staying until noon on checkout day is allowed for a small fee of $25. There's definitely a pattern of getting every cent out of you that they can rather than making an enjoyable experience. They also have a list of rules that is as long as it is ridiculous. And they seriously enforce them. Children under 21 must be accompanied after 10pm (good luck telling your 20 year old they can't go to the bathroom by themselves after dark!). You aren't allowed to bring an axe to split wood. Carpets aren't allowed on the sites to preserve the "grass". (The sites are all just crushed asphalt that is not level and easy to roll an ankle on, I didn't see much grass.) and finally the site is limited to 2 adults and 2 children. So if you have 3 kids, I guess you have to get another site. I still can't believe people pay money for staying here. I guess them being right next to the highway much more convenient for them to pull off highway robbery.

There has been 4 people that moved out of here from last year because of his arrogant ways. There is no activities for adults and nothing for kids to do either.

This campground is the type of place I always wanted to visit as a kid. It is huge with so many…read moreactivities that you could literally spend your entire vacation here and never leave the grounds. I recently visited with my partner and our two kids. Let's just say, we aren't totally the dedicated campers where we need to pitch tents, bring all the accessories and sleep on the ground. That's why this place especially stood out as they had luxury cabins for rent. Or as my partner said, I'm good as long as I have air conditioning and running water! The cabin came with a screened-in porch, an outdoor fire pit for evening s'mores, a loft where the kids slept, a full living room and kitchen with refrigerator another room with bunkbeds, a bathroom and then the master bedroom at the back of the cabin complete with dressers to put away your clothes. I'm one of those people that always unpacks and must have things organized, so it was a lifesaver. You can rent golf carts, highly recommended as the grounds are spacious and some of the cabins are located far away from the activities. There are also communal laundry facilities, which were great to have since we had to use them day 1 of our trip! The common area offers free activities like playgrounds, mini golf, character meet n' greets and wagon rides along with firetruck rides. Other activities cost extra like ceramic making, tie die shirt making, glitter tattoos and several others. Some nights they offer free movie screenings and other programs. Overall, this was like camping without the pain! That's my kind of camping. Cabin rentals are a little pricey, but with all that space, it could accommodate a large family or even combine it with others to help split the cost. Finally, the biggest hit was the water park. This is a can't miss. We got a poolside cabana and spent most of our days here. The kids didn't want to leave!

Let me start off by saying everything is really nice there. When we went the water park was closed…read morebut it looks like kids would have fun. It looks to be more for smaller kids rather than teens but nonetheless it's nice. All the staff were really nice. They took the kids for a ride on the fire truck which all thought that was cool. My complaint if you want to call it that is the price. It's a bit expensive. Camping is suppose to be a cheaper alternative to going to a hotel. Not the case here. Depending on what you get it could be just as much if not more than going to a hotel and I don't mean any hotel local to here. It's comparable (at least when we stayed) to hotels in Myrtle Beach. I won't say I would never go back but it would not be my first pick however if you want to stay local to this area and when I say this area I mean within an hour or two, this is not bad.

I…read morewas a little skeptical when hearing there was a free campground in this state forest but the reviews seemed really good so we decided to make it a stop on our way to West Virginia. The road to get to the campground was winding and very dark but when we arrived we saw a beautiful campground with paved spots. There are no amenities with only a vault toilet and water pump. Still the sites were nice and large. You pass several shooting ranges on the way to the campground. There is also a trail that loops around the campground.

Here are trash bins, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site, plus a well-blazed trail edging the campground. There are pit toilets in the center of the ring that do smell like free campground pit toilets, but they are far enough from the campsites that you'll be okay even on a hot summer day, especially if you're a ping with a self-contained unit. Our site had a great mix of field and tree cover with raspberries or other bramble fruits lining the campground. Hummingbirds, cardinals, nuthatches, and a concert of fireflies were fun to watch. The free part is especially good since there are pigeon, rifle, and handgun target ranges outside the camp loop, and you do hear them even on a Monday. And first thing Tuesday morning. This is a dry campground in every way so bring your own water. If you aren't target practicing, use your red cup and don't act like a rookie. About half the sites were in use the Monday night we stayed. Despite the ballistic sounds, the camp loop was quiet, and we had a very restful stay.
