I didn't feel very comfortable at this campground. It seemed there were many residents of the RV Park. There was a playground advertised but unfortunately that consisted of three wooden swings. When I called ahead to reserve a campsite the phone was answered by mumbling teenagers. I did not receive a confirmation number and I did not have to put down a deposit. I was very nervous I would not have a site upon arrival. The check-in is at a gas station convenience store. I was checked in by a young, teenage girl who offered basic knowledge on how to visit the Berea Artisan Center. Our stay was very short as we were out at 7am the next morning to visit attractions. I say stay if you need a place to just rest the night. Do not stay if you are looking for an enjoyable campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Older park with very narrow roadways. More than half the RV's appear to be permanently installed. Heavy car repairs going on in 3 sites. More dogs in park than campers. Staff was present in body but not in mind. Asked for a 50 amp pull-thru for 36'+ attached car. Site assigned was only 30 amp and about 10 feet too short. Moved to another that was OK. This was an overnight sleep stop; next time will use the CG about 500' down the road. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I drove through here and the whole place looked old and rundown, and appeared to have a lot of permanent residents. Did not stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Something must of changed. Staff not friendly, gave us a too small site, with low hanging branch that broke a vent off of our unit. When I told the staff they didn't seem to care. Will probably try park down the street next time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Just a one night stop on our way to a family vacation in South Carolina from Indiana. Very small sites, very close together, charged us to use our air conditioner when it was 90+ degrees outside. We had problems with the electric hookups, we kept blowing a fuse until my husband changed us to another electric box. There is a lot of highway noise, campground is just off I-75, if we are in this area again we will try a state park or another private park. The pool was nice since it was so hot. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A one nite stopover for us, but a pleasant surprise. Very friendly staff, very clean park, restrooms, and showers. Good level spots, easy hookups. An outstanding value at $16.00. Worth a lot more w/ water and elect. Will go back again and again. What a bargain. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The sites are excellent and the price is good for a one night stop. The staff were pleasant and very well organized. The park is convenient to various food facilities. The hardware store offers many parts for those that need quick repairs. Many of the nightly guests were making their last stop before returning to Canada for the snowbird trip back North. This is a good value campground for those that want a good night rest before returning to I-75. Television reception is not the greatest. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Gravel roads and sites. Nice shady trees. The sites were generous. It wasn't picturesque. There was a "Do-it-yourself" car wash next door. The freeway was 1/4 mile away. There was a nice hardware/RV supply store on site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Gravel streets. Poor water pressure. Very long pull through sites. No need to disconnect tow. Easy access. Only 15 minutes to Renfro Valley. $14 W&E. We camped here in a Motorhome.
From the photo and descriptions on their website, I thought this would be the perfect little campground. It might have been at one time, but it isn't anymore. The place was dirty and rundown. I've never seen bathrooms and showers so dirty. Nobody at the park seemed to care. They mainly seemed to cater to overnighters. I wouldn't even stay overnight. Too bad, Berea is a great little town to visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Passport America Rate. Asked for level pull thru with water/electric large enough to use without detaching toad, and that is what I got. Pleasant check in and escort to site. Roads and sites could use some more gravel, but travelable. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites were very muddy, need some grading and a lot of gravel. Drives were rutted and torn up due to water leaks on some sites. Our site was very narrow with a lot of the water on the back half of pad. We've stayed here 4 or 5 times and the decline of upkeep was surprising. The rate reflects Passport America discount + an up charge for 50 Amp. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here on an emergency trip home from Florida in March. This is the only park in the area that has wireless Internet. I have very mixed feelings about this park. It needs a LOT of work. They should have been out in the park picking up limbs, working on roads, and repairing the MAJOR water break that they had during the winter. The YOUNG owners were in their unit with no efforts to clean up the mess. They are kind and positive owners with a vision. They do NOT have the experience to make this park a winner. Our first and last stay at this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Good park, but looks kind of old. The shower/restroom was clean, but the stalls were only closed by a curtain, not a door. Not the best, but not the worst we have ever seen. The park is very big with a mixture of site types. Not a bad place to stay overnight or for a couple of days. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stopped here on our way down south for Thanksgiving, and really enjoyed it. The campground is right off of 75, but you feel like you are in the hills. There were only a few campers here, so we were able to choose a site down by the stream. Our door opened to the stream, and the hill that rises beyond it (the leaves were turned). Only one permanent camper was behind us, so we had the view all to ourselves. We only met the son (very nice young man) who helped us chose the site. The town of Berea is charming. Full of local crafts and history. (It is a dry town). We also hiked the trail up behind the campground. If you are not back by the stream...not so picturesque, but fine for an overnite...but back by the stream, we decided to spend several nights. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Although this is an old park, they are working to update. The bathrooms and showers weren't bad, and the whole feel of the place was certainly better the the place across the road. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very quiet and relaxing. We had camped here a couple of years ago. The only thing I think it needs is some personal touch on the yard. The streets really need to be repaved but was ok. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy access to interstate. This is an older park trying to update. We had some questionable electric problems with some of the coaches with us, low voltage on some posts. Some of the restroom stalls were OOS, as were some shower stalls. There was standing water on some lots after a rain that remained for 2 days. We stayed here with 5 other coaches. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the friendliest parks we have ever been in. Joey and Nella are both first-rate hosts. I can guarantee anytime that we are in the area we will stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The swimming pool is currently not operational. If you stay I would advise you to stay as far away from Hwy 21 as possible, as it is a very busy road and the traffic noise can be terrible. Very nice and helpful owners. Easy access on and off I-75. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
