We stayed in one of the motels and couldnt fault it. The bed was extremely comfortable and the lawn area was a great bonus. Woudnt hesitate to book it again. The remainber of the park does look somewhat unkempt and could do with some TLC. Overall its great place.

Theres a nice lawn with a lake view at the back of the motel rooms which is a lovely spot to finish the day with a good book and cold drink. Otherwise, we had a friendly welcome on our arrival, a nice walk along the lake and everything we could want from a motel room.
