The previous reviewer said it all!! I concur with his/her statements wholeheartedly. This is not a resort and the pictures make it seem a little glamourous. When I think "resort," I think of amenities. This campground is a campground. It satisfied our needs though. We used it as a place to sleep after exploring all along Copper Country.

The 4 star rating is just due to the expectations of a "resort", but our site was level, which is always good, and we were able to use the campground wi-fi to watch Netflix. Did not use the showers or the bathroom. The owner was really nice and willing to answer questions.

I would also say that a visit to Prospectors Paradise was really cool. From the outside, it looks like a typical rock shop. It is anything but. Go inside and see the extensive selection and talk with the proprietor. He was a fount of information.

We visited the Eagle River Museum. If you like local history stop here and talk with the volunteers, lots of local lore. The upstairs is where the neat stuff is.

We stayed here one night in early June 2021. Our site was so close to our neighbor that we had to choose our orientation on the site very carefully so we would be able to get our slide out. The sewer was quite a ways back behind the site(required our extension to reach it) and the water was shared between sites. We did not hook up due to the fact the water spigot only had a single outlet, not the split kind that would have been required. Our neighbors were obviously full-timers as their water hose was very insulated. We did call the office and they claimed they would send someone but no one ever showed. We did not pursue it because we had water in our tank and were leaving in the morning.

The shower house was good but dated. The dump is directly outside the shower house though. That's a little gross.

This campground is part of the larger amusement park and is very big and very crowded on the weekends. The dragstrip was loud but our site was far enough away to muffle the sound somewhat.

If we could not find another campground or boondocking spot, we might stay here in a pinch.

We stayed here in May 2021. This area was badly hit by a hurricane a couple of years back and is just beginning to recover. The campground no longer has trees or much shrubbery due to the destruction. But the location was fine for an overnight stay on our way to Topsail State Park. I can't remember how much we paid. The site wasn't perfectly level but a couple of mats fixed it.

Easy to find, have an onsite bar that was open on Sunday closed on Monday. Sites are close but not uncomfortably so and 2 sites share a water hookup. A splitter was already attached. There weren't many campers but the restrooms were clean. Dont know about the showers. Small swimming pool with a hot tub. I wou and d have given 5 stars but due to an unexpected work problem my hubby needed to work for 4 hours after check out. When I asked to pay extra to stay, I was told their policies do not allow late check out. The employee/owner(dont know which) first checked to be sure our site was not rented for that evening and it wasn't. He then said I could pay for another night(nightly rate $45). We could not stay another night, so I drove to a close by campground and for $20 they allowed us to pull in and plug in for the 4 hours we needed.

There is onsite WiFi that worked well, they have multiple routers. My husband was able to remotely login to his workplace via his phones At&T hotspot. He needs extra security.

Overall, I would recommend this campground, but when the say checkout is 11 they mean it.
