They came around with a cooler full of popsicles, handing them out to everyone to help keep us cool such an unexpected and appreciated gesture! The park itself is very well-kept and inviting. They even had chalk out for the kids to draw with, as well as a giant Jenga set for them to play. It's rare to see that level of care and community spirit, and it made such a positive impression. Huge thanks to the park crew for going above and beyond you can tell they truly care about the people who visit.

We pulled around to the check in office around 630 and discovered the office was closed. We called the number with no answer and then went to the office to see if there were late check in directions. Unfortunately there were not. There were multiple sites open so we decided to pull through a spot right next to the office so we could pay in the morning. After pulling through a man on a gator pulled up to us yelling and raising his hands aggressively "we are closed!" Alarmed by his reaction we left. I've never encountered a more rude campground interaction. We won't be back ever which is too bad bc the grounds are very nicely kept. Please add a sign "absolutely no late checks ins without a reservation " so u don't have to yell at anyone else.

While there is no dog park, there is lots of room to walk the pups in the shade or in the sun. The trees are very mature and give a lot of shade but not on the pull-thru sites. The sites are level but a bit close. Still easy to get in and out. The kids have several different playground areas, a swimming pool, and lots of open areas to ride their bikes to keep them busy. The freeway is about 2 miles, easy off and on, but none of the noise.

The staff were pleasant on a pre-arrival phone call and at check-in--but once there was an issue, the office staff member became very argumentative and rude, consistent with other online reviews. **ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNING** DO NOT use the 30A receptacles here unless you have a surge protector with an Electrical Management System (EMS) that explicitly confirms correct wiring before connecting your RV. My equipment detected a Line/Neutral Reversal on some 30A receptacles; the 50A receptacles appeared to be wired correctly. When I reported this life-safety hazard, the staffer's response was, "Don't use your surge protector--they're not compatible with our system." As a licensed Electrical Engineer with 30+ years of experience, I can state that this is 100% nonsense. The surge protector was correctly doing its job by flagging a major wiring fault. Do not follow the staff's advice when they tell you not to use your surge protector to "make it work." That is irresponsible advice that is literally endangering your safety. The staff also insisted that they don't have a problem because previous 30A users without surge protectors had "no problems." This is plausible because a Line/Neutral reversal doesn't usually affect RV operation but the statement shows their complete lack of understanding of the actual problem. A Line/Neutral reversal energizes the neutral side of the RV's electrical system. This means the RV chassis, appliance housings, and internal neutrals, which should be near ground potential, all become live, creating a serious shock or electrocution hazard if someone touches those RV components while grounded. The sites are basic with level concrete pads in good condition and other utilities (water/sewer) were fine. Excellent location near the historic St. Charles district. WiFi is unusable--bring your own Internet source. Restrooms and showers are dated and not in great condition. There was also no hand soap at the bathroom sinks all weekend. This park should be a 7/10 rating, but the electrical hazard drops it to a 5/10. The staff bring the rating down further to a 3/10.
