What would you say to $19 per night full hookups in a nice community park in a quiet area with zero other campers for a week? The same thing we did... awesome. The park is close to family and we enjoyed our stay. Great rural farm community park there are nice walking paths mowed in the grass, a pretty river next door, free mini-golf onsite, a golf course next door and a Dairy Queen within walking distance. As an added bonus the municipal swimming pool is within walking distance also. We stayed in the non-reservable site #8 which was a paved backin plenty long for our big rig. Verizon 4G was solid. Water was very rusty and clogged both our filters.
