Nice place. Kids had a good time. Not encouraged to go there if you are a minority. You wont feel welcomed. The staff is great, but the type of people that go there arent really folks that likely share the same interests as you do. There are Confederate flags all over; etc. Hotel rooms are no bueno, old. IF you want something nice, you need to spend the money glamping or have your own trailer.
