PET FRIENDLY ..NOT
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/29/11
There are a lot of families owing dogs and it's just too bad the Thompson Campground do not allow them We have the most well behaved dog and well trained, as I am sure many families do so I find it a pity there are no campgrounds truly PET Friendly.

Coming back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/3/09
We lived in Miami for 20 years and then moved to Port Saint Lucie, Fl. We never knew that this park was here. We camped last year with the cub scouts. We loved the park, so we are returning again this year. We have also used the water park with our grandchildren. They love it.

Not family friendly
By Kati, 7/13/09
We have been here for 8 weeks. We were told this park had a pool. They do however it is only open on the weekends and no kids under age 3. It is not very family friendly. The water park next door is the same way. Also in the pool you cannot have any floatation devices for this younger guests. They did not mow the grass often at all. The ladies in the office are rude. the gentlemen are friendly.

We are ready to go back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/18/07
It was well located and easy to find. They were courteous and professional. It was a great park to stay. We also loved the animal sounds from the nearby zoo. We stayed during Christmas last year, and ready to make reservations to do it again today. Harvey & Connie Ocala, FL

Great Park
By JohnDoe, 9/15/07
I have been going to this park for 13 year's to spend the winter, so this is my second home, I have stayed in lots of campgrounds but this is by far the nicest of them all, Nice people that work there and you can not beat the price,

Lost its friendly atmosphere
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/26/07
Been going for years however this time we were told our raised firepit/charchol grill was not acceptable and that the kids could not have a campfire and we would not be allowed to cook marshmellows. The children were very disappointed. We follow all safety precaution with a raised covered pit and a water hose but still this was not good enough however some longterm campers in the next pod had a none covered fire the next night for several hours. Apparently they do not want local residents visiting.

Beautiful park, very clean campground and i was surprised how clean the Bathrooms and Showers are. Excellent place for kids (to get dirty), Washer and Dryer are right there at the Showers. We stayed at the the campground with our Cub Scout Pack. Nice Fireplace. Will come back anytime i feel like camping!

Questionable to return
By t, 7/29/06
The rates were the best in the area, however we did have some problems with one of that staff member that was very rude. This problem was however taken care of by managment. The showers were not very clean which wasnt a huge problem except for my girlfriend. All in all I would probably return because the price is right, but I must say that if your willing to pay more I have been to much better campsites.
