It’s a fun nice change - had a cabin - family had fun - transport to holiday world was great and grateful (you know end of the day - sun - hot - rides - tired ) a ac bus to your cabin - worth it for the change - next time a week!

I didn’t realize you had to pay extra to do the slides and I’m pretty sure the cabin was moldy and not very clean. The big pool smelled of urine and the one slide was peeling very badly. I don’t think we will be staying again however, the shuttle service to holiday world was awesome.

Booked the cottage . Loved it. There were a few issues. Stove did not work. Cabinet molding was falling off the very top of the pantry cabinet. One light bulb in the bathroom was burnt out. The TV remote in the bedroom did not work the TV. The sign on the wall asks you to sweep. There was only a dust pan and no broom in the room. These were minor nuisances that needed addressed. The only real annoying one was the TV remote for my granddaughter to relax in bed and watch cartoons and the stove that wasn’t working. Overall the place is a lot of fun and I recommend going. There are several amenities that are wonderful. The staff is friendly and they led us to our cottage so we knew exactly where we were going. I really appreciated that. Thank you.

Best place to stay in the area!

This is the best place to stay in the area! Fun atmosphere w/ other campers...golf carts, events, things to do in the park, a lake, and the water slides were great! Cute cabins, shuttle to Holiday World was extremely convenient. Definitely better than any nearby hotels (have stayed in a couple different hotels in the area and they are yucky). Downsides are minimum 2-night stay and have to bring all linens & most kitchen stuffs but overall this place is a winner.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
l don’t want this to be a full on negative review. We did appreciate the shuttle services to and from holiday worlds front gates & the appliances and utensils available in the cabin, as well as the air conditioning in the cabin…but The cleanliness of the cabin was very poor. we pulled the couch over and there were old wrappers, glow sticks, hair balls and more all beneath. I had to wipe the fridge off before placing anything on top, as there was a 1/2 inch of dust. The bathroom door wouldn’t lock and had to be slammed to shut. The cable was static in the bedroom, my husband is a maintenance man and couldn’t fix it because it wasn’t a connection issue, it was the cable wire itself. The mattress’s are probably the worst i have ever slept on! My back and hip were killing me, i tossed and turned all night. The mattress had no give, like sleeping on a plank & it literally sits on top of a plank of wood. They took all of the screening and the screen doors off of the porch. The dishes are washed by the guests, so you have to ensure that they are clean (as some of them were not). & I know it’s a campground so wifi is a luxury, but just a warning not to expect any cell service & the wifi is minimal at best! There are pros and cons & i love the atmosphere, but to pay over 300$ a night for a cabin , i would except a better mattress at best.

Absolutely loved staying here! Property was clean and beds were comfortable. Location was great and loved all the activities on site!! Only thing for improvement would be to have the cabin slightly better stocked in the kitchen or provide that info when booking. We didn’t know there were no towels or blankets provided. Bare bones on dishes and no large skillet to even cook with. We ended up spending quite a bit of money unnecessarily at Walmart when we could have packed those items. I will still definitely be back and recommend this place to others! I’ll just include that heads up. Beautiful place all around!

10/10 Recommend and we will be back! We stayed in a cottage, which was super nice, updated and clean with a fantastic porch with rockers! Dog friendly & you can bring your golf cart. Grocery store and Dollar General right by the campground, free shuttle to Holiday World, very family friendly. We will definitely be back!!

For the price I paid accommodations were very good...staff was helpful when I had questions.. the only thing I could say is the restroom corners could be cleaned better, but I dont think most ppl would notice this, I notice it because I have done housekeeping before for over 20 yrs but I really enjoyed my stay and my children enjoyed themselves as well.. Beautiful relaxing place

There is so much to do at the campground, mini golf, Gem mining, pools, water slides, several basketball courts and playgrounds. Let's not forget the arcade. The cabins are perfect for families. You are close to your neighbors, but we are all there for 1 reason our kids to have an awesome time. We took chalk with us and had all the neighbors and people driving by sign the street and the parade on a Tuesday was awesome. The food at the little snack kitchen was very good. Yes, this place can be expensive but the memories you create are for a lifetime.

only a minor issue, the first step leading up to the porch was a little too high, just needs an additional step at the bottom
