Staff are very friendly, and helpful. I was only here for a few hours for a first day visit.At the end of my day, I grabbed a bite to eat on the patio, and enjoyed meeting other guests. Earlier I chose to relax in the grassy area to sunbathe and really enjoyed relaxing naked in the sun for the first time in a few decades. I am looking forward to future visits.

We stayed from Sunday June 30,2024- July4, 2024. There was some confusion about what site we had for our motorhome. There was already some set up on the sight they gave us and the power was only 15 amp which really doesn’t work for our MH. It got sorted out the next day with help of some of the residents and members. We had a great time once we got settled. It was easy getting into conversations with the different members we met and we got some great pointers here and there. I messed up on our first trip to the pool by bring my cell phone along to listen to some music and catch up on the news. One person very subtly let me know there wasn’t supposed to be phones at the pool so I apologized and left my phone at the motorhome after that. People checked on us to make sure we doing okay and there weren’t any problems. The roads are great to get some walking in and the grounds are very well maintained. We will visit this resort a few more times this summer to make up our minds if we want to stay at the resort we been members of for a few years or change to Ponderosa. The staff in the club house were very good to deal with as well

Was there for 2 nights/2 days. Very friendly people, at least the ones I talked to. The resort clubhouse looks great and is the main attraction. Better to go with people you know so it's not as awkward than as a single. I wish this place was nude mandatory, like Bare Oaks, as many were clothed and I felt a little out of place at times even though no one cared nor commented about it which is great. If you stay in the guest rooms and there's an event on be prepared not to sleep till almost 1am as the place can be loud till then. Worth a shot for anyone to come at least once. I'll try to return when I can.

Wow what a beautiful job the owners have done with their property. It feels like you are away at resort destination. It’s very clean and the campers are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. There is NO JUDGEMENT These people know how to live life free from judgement. It’s a refreshing feeling compared to many places/ beaches etc where the naked body is not freely excepted. They have a big pool nice bar and restaurant onsite. Great camping spots not hidden under pine trees.

Had a great time here. Went back a second time and had an equally satisfying stay. Everybody we encountered was friendly and welcoming. The facilities are great, I especially like the swim up bar! It was pretty busy on the days we went. Had good fireworks on Canada Day and a dance that evening, a good time had ny all. I believe there is a dance every Saturday night throughout the summer. There are no phones allowed in the bar/restaurant/ pool area's so I have few pictures of those weekends 🙁

The staff and all of those permanent and seasonal residents were very nice. They had shuffleboard, horseshoe pits and bocce ball etc... but some of it needed some upkeep, but it was still enjoyable.

We didn't eat at the restaurant as we are gluten-free, and most of it was fried or bread based. Pickled eggs were good.

Bar at the pool was closed due to it being a weekday when we stayed. They said it tends to be open on the weekends when there's more people. There was a bar inside the clubhouse, and we had a couple of good drinks there.

When we went, unfortunately the area had had pretty good rain and they also had a lot of mosquitoes. So we didn't get to go out and do a lot of things after dusk.

The grounds were very well maintained, and all of the seasonal and permanent resident units were also well kept. Very cool and little camp areas that showed a lot of personality. We had a lot of fun looking at that. They did have a mosquito person do the grounds, but unfortunately it rained right after they were there.

They have an inside pool and a hot tub. They also have an outside pool hot tub and what they call a conversation pool. That one is heated. Due to it being only the beginning of July, we had to mostly stay in the conversation pool. Very cute, little beachy themed signs all around the pool area.

All in all it was a good experience. We were just sad that we weren't able to be out more to enjoy all the outside activities.
