A great place for Family!
We have stayed at this O'Connell's three times prior to this visit. We have loved it each time, however this time we were particularly impressed. They have made some improvements. It seemed to be in great condition with the same friendliness and family feel.

We liked the park model. Spacious, clean, accommodating. Nice patio with grill. Enjoyed the pools and paddle boating. My grandson especially liked the putt-putt. The park is neat, easy to get around, lots to offer for entertainment and friendly staff.

Disappointed
We got a park deluxe. Our gas line was cut, so we didn’t have use of half of the kitchen we paid to have. The screen door was also broken. We told the staff many times about both issues and it was never fixed. They did offer free ice cream, but a discount on what we paid would have been the right thing to do. Also, as we were leaving no one was allowed to leave the park because of a bomb threat. The communication they had on the last issue was awful.
