Our Camping Experience
Early Arrival Perks
We rolled in about an hour before check-in, half expecting to wait. Instead, the friendly front desk let us check in early for a small fee since our site was ready. Site #93, right in front of the waterpark, made it easy for the grandkids to dash to the slides in record time.
Friday Evening Fun
After setup, we hit the waterpark until closing, then grilled hot dogs and chips back at the RV. While we cleaned up, the kids bounced themselves tired on the giant jumping pillow — the perfect bedtime prep.
Saturday Surprises
Doo Doo’s pancake breakfast was almost perfect… until I realized I forgot the butter and the pancake syrup. Luckily, the well-stocked camp store saved the day. We spent the rest of the day at the waterpark, enjoying lunch from the poolside café and ending with ice cream treats. Dinner was at the on-site pizza place before plans for nighttime laser tag were canceled due to muddy conditions. The kids quickly switched to karaoke in the activity center — and ended the day just as happy.
Sunday Send-Off
Before checkout, we squeezed in one last waterpark session. On the drive home, the kids were already listing what they wanted to do “next time.”
What We Loved Most
– Waterpark fun just steps from our site
– Plenty of on-site dining options
– Kid-friendly activities from morning to night
