Happy Travelers RV Resort
Clean Room, spacious compared to what hotel rooms and even suites cost. Heated pool is very nice, even on warm days. All facilities are clean, definitely have a lot of cabins in a small area so don’t expect to see anything besides another cabin but inside everything is clean and very organized.
