Lee Anne and Michael were very accommodating and we enjoyed chatting with them about local activities and restaurants etc. loved the car show that they participated and invited us too. Our dogs had fun running and playing together too .
The camper was clean and well equipped with everything you would need. Nature walk around the property was great. Location was private and off the beaten path. We had lots in common when us which made for great conversation!

Paula was very quick to reply to messages we exchanged prior to arriving at the property. The area was beautiful and we look forwarding to coming back to explore the area utilizing this space as a base camp for day trips.

My family and I were looking for an affordable place with wilderness vibes for a spontaneous staycation, and Oaks RV Park felt like a great fit. We came for relaxation, fresh air, and quality time not a fancy RV resort so the lack of updated amenities didn’t bother us.
There is about a 5-mile dirt road leading to the park (if I’m not mistaken), and it’s pretty bumpy, so you’ll want to drive slowly. That said, we expected to be in the middle of nowhere, lol, and it didn’t bother us at all.
I liked that the park has a front gate with a code, which made us feel secure. For Uber or Instacart deliveries, there’s a basket at the gate where drivers can leave your items, which was very convenient. There’s also a rec center that’s a decent size. We enjoyed the nest area the most—it has a deck right next to the parking space. It could use some work, but again, we weren’t there for luxury, just nature and quality time.
The staff truly stood out. Todd was amazing he brought us a picnic table and even gave us bottled water when we needed it. Tyler also personally invited us to a potluck, which showed how welcoming the community is.
There are some full-time residents, but they didn’t bother us at all. Some areas are a bit cluttered, and a few older RVs can be an eyesore, but for what it is, it was fine. We saw about 3-4 cats but we shew them away … it wasn’t infested .
I was glad to hear that they were going to do some upgrades in the near future. We will definitely be coming back .

Lower your expectations and what you have been sold on glamping and overpriced Airbnb this is good people opening their home and hearts to allow other to enjoy their home.
We loved our trip,
Arcadio was awesome to work with. Many accommodations were made to help accommodate our out of the ordinary requests and have absolutely no complaints!
The sights exactly how primitive and limited as expressed.
It is like camping in his backyard with an ext cord and a pallet stall for bucket potty and outdoor showers if you provide your own water.
We had our own water sources and battery generator that was easily charged by his 20amp extension cord.
There was a fire ban but we made due and excellent s’mores were achieved. The animals a great.

The intro email lays out everything you need to know. The hosts are very kind and welcoming people. Have a great set up on their property, and all of the campsites have enough space around them to have a feel of privacy, even when the place is full. I do recommend you bring firewood, or you can buy it here which is nice. They also let you pick up sticks so you can have small fuel and kindling to supplement your firewood with. Theres no shortage of sticks, they have a lot of healthy oak and pine trees on the property. It was a great spot to camp out while visiting Rainbow River and Springs for a paddle trip. Bring a hammock!
