UPDATE: The family…read moretried to give this place another chance since our original review, unfortunately we had such a horrid time the second time I wish we could give negative stars. I reserved the 3 cabins for family members being told they were responsible for their fees when they arrived. Unfortunately due to injury and a lengthy hospital stay my aunt was unable to come and same with her nurse daughter as she was her caregiver. The owners told us they were going to charge us for the cabins! We only reserved the cabins we didn't book them! My aunt from her hospital payed for the cabins she and her daughter were going to stay in, then the owner was going to book it again and double dip! Our cabin was dirty and the AC leaked and was moldy causing me to have flair ups with my disabilities. A couple times when we were away and left the AC on so we'd come back to a cool cabin we came back to find someone had gone in and turned it off. The bathrooms are disgusting filthy moldy and always smelly. Everything inside is rotting and covered in mold. The sink and floors are never clean and the vents are cover in such a thick layer of filth and dust I doubt they work. The owners are rude and nitpick everything so you don't really relax or enjoy your stay because they creep and lurk around. I would never recommend them to anyone, they will never have any of our family's business again. This is a nice location and could be a very nice campground. We booked with our whole family to camp together before our family reunion, we were extremely disappointed to be placed in the front of the campground when we specifically requested we all be placed together. We and the other family had to hike to see each other. We had a total of 3 cabins and 6-7 campsites...we were the only ones placed so far away. We came from California to spend this time with family so it really ruined our time there. The campsites are nice but very close together. The fire rings are old tractor rims which was cute. The owners seemed nice and helpful escorting you to your spot but they were a bit too intrusive and put most of our party off when they nit picked everything from the children having fun, the dogs, and our evening family BBQ and fire. The bathrooms really need to be updated. They were mostly clean and the nice thing was no line or wait. The showers are painfully small. If you drop the soap you have to step out of the shower to retrieve it. There wasn't much space for your shower bag, towel, or clothes. The are also only two showers for each boys and girls. The campground also lacks a camp kitchen washing station at least a place to dump washing grey water. It is on a creek you can fish at and across the street is the river which flows into Clearwater Dam a couple miles down the road. There is a laundry and arcade. The stock firewood and ice.

We enjoy bringing our chairs and sitting in the water while the kids search for crawfish. They also have a pool to cool off in. We grab delicious coffees from their on-site specialty shop and you can get regular coffee or decadent dessert-like coffees. The park is quiet in the late evening hours and is truly a great place to take your family!

It's really off the beaten path and you won't have to worry too much about getting phone calls on your cell. Although this place is bit rustic, the required amenities are all available in the cabins available for rent. You'll get a kitchen, shower, A/C, and heat. They provide sheets, blankets and towels (you might want to bring your own towel if you like something big enough to wrap around you). The boat dock provides adequate shelter for your boat when you're not on the water catching the huge crappie.

The staff clearly love their job and enjoy working with the animals. It's not only Australian critters either--they have a beautiful serval cat and ringtail lemurs. The height of the experience was definitely getting to hang out with a bunch of kangaroos in their enclosure. Getting to pet real kangaroos and hold a baby joey was a life changing experience. We were a little intimidated at first, but the roos were calm and cool and one even licked us and followed us around.
