Our stay was pleasant with clean and spacious accommodations, especially in room 9, which provided a lovely private patio and great shower flow. Unfortunately, room 19 was much smaller and had less appealing amenities. The location was convenient to town, although it was near a busy road. Overall, I would return but carefully choose my room next time.

I had a wonderful time at this park, where the spacious sites and cleanliness really stood out. The staff made my experience even better with their kindness and helpfulness, especially when I needed assistance. However, the facilities lacked some privacy, and that was a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it's a great place for a short stay, particularly if you enjoy exploring the local area.

The campsite has a small and cozy setup, ideal for a short stay. While I appreciated the friendly staff and clean facilities, the lack of privacy in the toilet and shower areas was a downside. Overall, it's a decent option for those looking to explore the area, but I might hesitate to stay longer because of the privacy concerns.

We had a mixed experience during our stay. The first room was spacious and comfortable, which we loved, but moving to the second room was a definite downgrade in terms of space. The playground was also quite unsuitable for younger kids. The service was outstanding throughout our visit, and the facilities were well-maintained. While we liked several aspects, the cramped conditions of the second room and the issues with the playground were noticeable drawbacks.
