What People Are Saying About Lake Pleasant RV Park

“Stayed a week, already made our reservations for next year! This place is so clean and the people are so friendly. We ran out of propane so I had to use their restrooms for showering and they are absolutely spotless with a lot of nice touches. The laundry room was also very clean although for the size of the park they could use a few more washers and dryers. This was our second time visiting this park, and I wish we had found the trail that circles around it earlier. We only really discovered it the day before we were leaving, but it's a wonderful little hike. Watching the wildlife visit the lakes is also one of the best parts.” – Toby Wright, Google Reviews

“Our spot was absolutely amazing. I loved every minute of this RV Park. The staff was all very friendly, the laundry room was kept nice and clean and even had books and movies you could borrow, there were hiking trails that went around the park, and plenty of shade. Between each RV, there was a decent amount of distance, so you didn’t have to worry too much about how close your neighbors were. The trees were massive and would help to keep the campsite cool in the day, as well as keep the wind away. There were no bugs or anything like that, however, when we were on a hike one morning, we did find a massive banana slug in the woods. Definitely some really cool wildlife that you don’t get to experience many other places. At each campsite, however, most did not have picnic tables or fire pits. So bring lawn chairs if you wish to sit outside, as well as a grill if you want to cookout. At night it was quiet and hardly any traffic going through. There is quite a few places to stop and get food or anything else you may need just a short drive up the road as well.” – danielle somers, Google Review
