Perfect place 2 stop on my van trip
Wonderful experience. Welcoming staff. Gave me a tour of the property. Good place to park my camper van. Clean shower. Kitchen and whole property was great.

A hip vibe but, really sketchy area
Everything about this place that they could actually control was great. The lounges were well stocked and clean. They had activities going on. Everyone was super friendly. They had games and comfy seating all around. When we first pulled up, I felt an immediate feeling of panic because there were homeless people out front and all over the sides of the location. I immediately thought to go someplace else and just forget about the money but, there was a marathon in town and many campgrounds were completely full. We figured we’d just watch our daughter like a hawk and keep everything locked tight at all times. I’m fairly certain there was at least one homeless man sleeping like 2 feet away from the front of our car. I heard moaning after nightfall and did my best to keep my daughter from hearing it. Their fence is covered with a cloth and I’m guessing I wouldn’t want to see what was on the other side of it. I realize they cannot control this and did whatever they could to hide it but, it was unsettling and I didn’t feel safe there with a child. The only thing I’ll say that was slightly negative is that the parking spots for campers are right next to all the outdoor areas and they had a young 20 something crowd that was loud until pretty late. They were not obnoxious but, it was difficult to sleep before midnight or so.

The van/Rv spot is just parking spaces near the back of the property. I thought there was plenty of room. The area was pretty quiet with having a main road nearby. The facility was clean and enjoyed everyone’s company. I’d stay again.

Campervan overnight stay
We stayed at the RAD Hostel in our camper van. We didn't need any hookups, just a safe place to park for the night and a shower. We showered, washed our dishes in the 24 hr lounge, and enjoyed a quiet dinner on the beautiful patio. Erin and the staff were great and the hostel tenants were eclectic and interesting. We will definitely be back!
