Shangri-la Campground

Nice quite campground. Enjoyed our time. Only thing was there was leaves we had to clean up on our site. Oh we had an old lady yell at us for going above 5mph. Which we were…. 8mph. We will be back.

For this place being the water park capital of the world, the amount of times children were told that they would have to leave for not running, not doing canon balls but falling into the pool because jumping and canon balls are not allowed, even if there are no other people to be bothered by it. Same with many other things that the kids did that ALL OF THE FAMILY deemed acceptable, they had an issue with. A woman from the office also called a parent to tell the parent that a child was flipping her, an adult off, turns out, it was not even the child accused and no adult was “flipped off” just ridiculousness for no reason. The campground was flooded with mosquitoes, I rented a cabin for the weekend and for the price, so far in advance, $360 for a cabin with less than a hotel room.

Nice camping facility, mostly seasonal camping. But close to the race track and they were nice enough to activate the back gate for the weekend, to make it easier to get to the track. Lots of trees and some spots are tight to back in. 333 to 336 were easy to get in. Looks like a lot to do for the kids. (Edit/update) Dump station located at the back of property. Corners seem a little tight to get our 5th wheel back there. Also exiting from the site to the road, we had to pull past exit and backup the hill to make the exit. Like that it is gated, but no extra room. Inconvenient, not impossible,

It was a holiday weekend, so it was a bit busy. We brought our dog along as well and did experience some encounters with off leash dogs, which can be dangerous. Other than that, it was a great experience. While there, the weather was quite warm, so using the pool was great. The pool wasn't very busy either, which was surprising. Most people were at the pond.

Leave your preconceived notions of "the great outdoors" at the gate because you won't find that here. This place is between a race track, highway, and high traffic train tracks. This is not a minor inconvenience, the race goes into the night starting in the morning. This should have been conveyed to us. The trains have to be the most used I've been near, and my grandparents lived near a factory. The highway is so close you will hear that all day / night too. The staff is indifferent at best. Showers are quarter operated. Arcade is 12 machines most of which are out of order. Camp sites are on top of each other. The pond was the nicest thing they have. That however was right next to the race track, once warm up started at 11 am Saturday morning it was ruined. Better off camping in your back yard and hitting up the local pool. At least the wood and beer is cheaper.
