The set up of the campground is probably the best we have stayed at so far. The sites are spread out so you are not on top of your neighbor and there is plenty of trees so you don't feel like you are in a parking lot like at other parks. The camp host is great and met us at check in and led us to our spot. Our spot was pretty unlevel and the fire pit was full of dirt which is fine but doesn't earn a 5 rating. The community center is nice and is maintained well by the community of campers. The snowbird community there is very nice and welcoming. The campground is conveniently located to I-75 and to Wild Adventures (amusement park/zoo). Only complaints are the lake is still down due to the Dam break but has been fixed and will hopefully be full of water soon; also we were told reservations are not accepted but when we arrived we were told that they are holding some sites (the nice ones) for snowbirds...so no reservations unless you are a regular. Other than that small stuff it is a very very nice campground with a nice staff and community and we plan to return when we can.

Ref: ...also we were told reservations are not accepted but when we arrived we were told that they are holding some sites (the nice ones) for snowbirds...so no reservations unless you are a regular.

This person may have misunderstood.....not held for SNOWBIRDS but if they arrived in a smaller unit, we try to manage the spots to have the larger pull thrus for large rigs and those who prefer not to disconnect. This is a popular spot to stop on the trail to or from FL. This is our first attempt as camp hosts and haven't saved any spots for anyone even if we know they are coming in. We try to manage the assets we have. If they only need a 30 amp service, we try to utilize those sites and maintain a 50 amp site for whoever may come in behind them. First come, first served. We try to accommodate their needs whenever possible while thinking ahead. We cannot remember an incident where a large rig was asked to disconnect and back into a smaller space if a large pull thru was available. We also try to accommodate wherever possible the needs of individuals to be nearer the restrooms, etc. We try to get as much information as possible before designating a site for them. What has happened frequently is that someone will call and they will be told we have sites and others arrive before they do. We have overflow sites as well. Some of our overflow sites are opposite direction with capability for full hookup. One incident this year: we had a rain storm that was raining cats and dogs when a motor home arrived and only had overflow available. Due to soaked ground, they chose to leave and go to Eagle's Roost, a commercial campground on other side of I-75. Another was when two large rigs arrived and only wanted pull-thrus which we did not have available that night. We do the best we can to accommodate for the size of the unit arriving. Thank you for your comments and this helps us learn to be a better camp host for the future.
