O'connell's RV Campground

This place looks like a trailer park for people who can’t afford to live in a trailer park. It is rundown and filthy. No one works there so nothing is open. It’s lawless except for a few old security guards who look like they are made out of jello. I wouldn’t trust them to keep a straight back on a windy day let alone protect someone. The few people I encountered that did work there were very rude, even for trailer park standards. All the hot tubs were closed and the pools were ice cold and had a greenish tint and sour smell. People speeding on golf carts while drinking is very common so watch your kids. I think this place is on its last leg. Save your money and go somewhere else. I traveled there in late August 2025. I doubt it has improved since then

My family and I had the chance to stay at O'Connell's RV Campground. We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights and this is our review. When we first arrived to get checked in we arrived and parked right at the gate but there wasn't anyone at the shack and I had to physically park the car at the gate thus blocking this entry way for everyone. Once I parked I had to get out and walk to the administration building to get checked in, I think. There was no sign or anything, letting us know what to do. (This was all due to short staff.) Once I got into the building, check-in was pretty easy. I told them my reservation name and they took out the map and showed me how to get to my camping spot and gave me the gate code. Other than that, no other information was provided to me or my family. This will be very important tid bit of information for later in our review. We stayed during the first week of August and I'm not sure if this was a busy time or not for camping but driving to our site we could tell there was a lot of people there for camping and the amount of golf carts are over bearing to say the least. It was like a small city with nothing but golf carts zooming around. The electricity and water outlets are right next to each other. We felt this was a bit of a dangerous situation as why someone would put the electricity right next to the water spout. There's many activities for the kiddos to do like basketball, volleyball, playgrounds, pools, music stage, paddle boats, mini golf, arts and crafts center, kayak, beach, and fishing. You wanted to do paddle boat? Nope it was closed because there wasn't anyone available to rent the boat for us. You wanted to kayak? Nope not happening because someone wasn't available to rent out the kayak for you. Interested in mini golf? Ha! Good luck because no one was available to rent putters and balls for you. You can see how we were disappointed and dissatisfied with our time at O'Connell's RV Campground. Oh yeah and you know the market and pizza restaurant that's conveniently setup for all guests to use in the campground? It's a great place to grab snacks and ice. Forget about that because you wanna know why? That's right, you guessed it! It was closed. It makes no sense to me why those things would be closed when the campground is packed with people. The listed hours of the store/market don't even correlate and it was just closed. This isn't even the worst part of our experience at O'Connell's RV Campground. The camp ground has a strict quiet hours that begins at 10pm but they neglected to advise us of what was going on at the campground during our stay. Every single night starting at 9pm which ran until about 11:30 pm, people would drive around in their golf carts like it was a parade. Honking, yelling, screaming, blasting loud music, and causing a scene every night when my kids are sleeping/adults sitting around a campfire. There were lines and lines of golf carts. It was extremely frustrating and we didn't understand why security was not shutting this down because of the quite hours. Turns out that it was decorate your golf cart and have a parade weekend. It was have been nice to know about this prior to checking in or even at check in. Nothing was provided to us and there was no advance warning. Now everything made sense to us but we still should have been told about this well in advance. We had an OK time at O'Connell's RV Campground but my family and I prefer to be more secluded and on our own. It felt like we were camping at a theme park with none of the attractions being open , it's just not for us. Maybe it is for you and your family. The showers and bathrooms were acceptable but could have used a mid-day cleaning but my guess it was due to understaffing issues and a few nights they closed it down at 10 pm and there was no other signs telling us where we could use the bathroom or shower.

Worst campground I’ve been to. When I walked into the bathroom of the cabin, the water smelled bad. The toilet looked like there was still pee inside it. And the entire floor of the cabin was so dirty, Chromes, and dirt everywhere on the floor. I walk bare foot and ten minutes later my entire foot is black. The beds didn’t have a blanket or even pillows! The Ladder of the top-left bunk bed was super unsafe I almost fell! Everywhere I go, Flies, Flies, And Even Wasps! The door wouldn’t close, And we had trouble with the fan and the AC. Please fix all these.

Longtime Visitor Deeply Disappointed I take my family on a vacation every year, and this time we chose O’Connell’s RV Campground, hoping for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. We rented two cabins and one camper site, spending a significant amount of money to make it special. Sadly, the experience fell far short of expectations. I used to bring my kids here years ago and always had great experiences. But the campground has grown so much that it now struggles with basic cleanliness and maintenance. The bathrooms were filthy—overflowing toilets and standing water left untouched for hours. One pool was broken, and the water slide operated only briefly each day. The cabins were a major letdown. The mattresses were damp and not waterproof, with cloth covers that felt unsanitary. Floors were peeling and lined with food and dirt, and the outlets were dangerously loose. It seems like they rely on guests to clean cabins, with no staff checking behind them. The yard was littered with feminine products, bottle caps, and overflowing fire pits. Other campgrounds manage to hire enough staff to keep things clean—why can’t this one? The atmosphere was chaotic: loud music, speeding golf carts, and even a visibly intoxicated person vomiting near the playground—my grandkids had to step over it. One family member left early because the cabin was so dirty their child kept trying to eat debris from the floor. The playground was outdated and unsafe, clearly from the 1970s and made of metal—not suitable for young children. I had chosen cabins near the park hoping my two autistic grandkids from Missouri could enjoy it, and I’m honestly relieved they couldn’t come. On a positive note, the front desk and store staff were kind and helpful, and the location is convenient. But overall, the campground has declined significantly. If they can’t maintain the property, they should reduce its size. I won’t be returning—and neither will my family. To make matters worse, I’ve left two messages for management and am still waiting for a call back. No one has responded.

Terrible experience!!! My family and I have been coming here for thirteen years and it use to be beautiful, but for the last three years it's been crap. Now that there is new ownership it all went down hill. The bathrooms are GROSS! There was no toilet paper or soap. The pools did not have chlorine they smelled like pee! That's very unsanitary. You don't get trash bags anymore and now you have to throw your own trash out. There is no staff to help you. The food court is not opened. No more funnel cakes!!! The water was off of Saturday July 5. You could not use the bathrooms, shower or even wash your hands. They are super strict here but don't reciprocate when it comes to good costumer service. I will be looking for a new place to take my family. This place only wants to make a quick buck.
