Lovely site next to the river. We didn’t see our neighbor and we far away from the RV area. Everyone was friendly that we met.

Weekend Trip to Maitland Shores Resort

Nice place, host is very friendly and helpful. What a fantastic spot for a camping trip! We absolutely loved our time next to the river. the river view was so relaxing, and it was perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring. The kids had a blast skipping sea shells and spotting little fish. Evenings were magical, with campfires crackling under a sky full of stars and the gentle murmur of the river in the background. The setup was great, offering just the right balance of feeling immersed in nature while still having convenient access to everything we needed. We're already dreaming about our next visit to this riverside paradise. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and refreshing camping experience!

Weekend Trip to Rockwell Ridge

Such a beautiful campsite on a beautiful property. Kim was so nice and welcoming. Lots of room to move around, chairs and tables provides. There is a porta potty that was spotless, with everything nicely mowed and you can drive right up to where you camp. It was super convenient for all of our stuff. There is a road nearby but trees hide most of it so it felt very private, with fields and trees surrounding us.
