Rooms are tired and dated with pots pans on their last legs. Our oven “cladding” was held together with green tape. Built-up grime is a feature. Staff, except for room service, were mostly surly and disinterested.

Cabin was very cramped and in need of an update. Bedding looked like it was from the 80s. Sleeps 4 but only has seating for 2. Shower cubicle so small, we weren’t able to shower our small children. Even with discount for staying there, access to the hot pools was going to cost our small family over $50 - we didn’t bother as pools only open for a few more hours so not worth it. The cabin was clean and facilities at the campground great. Kids loved the bouncing pad and playground. Location was great as this was a stop over on our longer road trip, good to be able to get off and on the bypass easily without needing to go into town

Clean Cabin. Main bed was comfy but the bunk bed mattress was very thin. The pool and mineral spa area was amazing and just what we needed after a long day of driving. Staff were very friendly, especially the blonde lady this morning who gave me some great tips for places to see along our next days journey.
