What Our Guests Are Saying
Was greeted promptly and escorted to drive through lot and made sure I was happy. Mine is the grey Outlaw.
Great stay and extremely friendly staff. We will definitely stay here again.
Great people ,very clean ,peacefull
Wonderful park. The owners and in fact all the people there were just so lovely and real!!! We stayed in our 37 foot class A and had an easy pull through roomy site. Stayed throughout the Memorial Day ( complete with picnic and a band) weekend and beyond . Wish we could have stayed longer . Lovely time!! Thanks to Donna, Joe and Ron!!
This was our second time at this park and once again impressed. Love the golf cart escort to the parking spot and the staff is very friendly and attentive. Love the wild horses prancing around. Thank you, we highly recommend this one of a kind rv park!
The overall experience was a very incredible experience that we enjoyed very much the restrooms were very very clean the actual RV park was also clean and the staff were very courteous and polite we will be back and will also refer friends and family to go share the same type of experience
Amazing service. They were all so sweet and constantly made sure we were comfortable. They had burgers and dogs for the family’s over the holiday weekend. It was our first time RVing and we hope to be back to spend it with them again. Dogs had a great time, kids had a great time, wife had a great time. Make sure you head over to the trout pond down the road, several casinos in arms reach. Very nice and quiet area and best of all the permanent RVers are SUPER friendly when they walk their dogs. I loved it.
We stayed for just one evening on our trip West. The customer service was excellent, answered phone, friendly, good advice to pick a site that would best meet our needs since we didn’t unhook our tow vehicle for an overnight. We arrived a bit late 7pm (ideally there by 6) and they guided us to the spot with good cheer, made sure all was well before they left us. It was busy with families for Memorial day weekend yet all was in order and calm. The spot was ample, had shade and a bit of a view (spot 68) and plenty space the have our 33ft with a midsize truck in tow. After a 10 hour drive to get there this was just what we needed.
Nice place to stay for a relaxing get a way. Hookups were all working great along with the WIFI. Grounds keeper was very friendly and gave each lady a rose for Mother's Day. Hope to return soon!
My spouse and I (and our two dogs) are now living permanently here at Slow Play in our brand new Park Model RV (aka Tiny Home)! The park has large lots, grounds are clean and well kept, pets are welcome, and the park is in a very quiet area yet close to town. Best of all, the staff are friendly and treat us like family here! We also love the experience of meeting other RV enthusiasts, whether this is their full time home or travelers that come and go.
