I was skeptical of this place because of some of the reviews I had read about the "rules and rude owners" but it was the only place on Lake Mayfield that was available on short notice for a weekend getaway. I am pleased to say that those who have posted about the former owners...they are GONE, because the new ownership is wonderful. From the reservation set up over the phone to the final ice cream purchase as we left the marina store, our experience with everyone there was pleasant. The RV park was a bit crowded, but not enough that it took away from our experience. In fact, we got to know those around us and it added to our experience. If you are looking for a place where you are meeting with friends and want to be near them this is the place for you! If you are looking for a place to get away from it all you may want to go elsewhere (although there were a few sites that were more secluded. I would suggest #36 & #37 as they are down at the end with your own private deck overlooking the marina, but no sewer). The back in spaces (where we stayed) have an unusual "stadium" like feel to them, with parallel spots positioned above them. Again if you have a group get together with multiple RVs this is awesome, because everyone is right next to each other (and above or below each other). We rented a "party boat" and spent four hours exploring the lake (reasonably priced at $50 for two hours and comfortably sat our two families - four adults and three kids). They also rent paddle boats and kayaks too. It has a great play area for kids (our kids spent most of their time there), a basketball court, small swim area with slides, lots of gathering areas for groups with firepits and bar-b-ques and many other extra amenities. The best part of our trip was the Saturday night family dance at the large pavilion over looking the lake. The owners brought in a DJ and everyone danced into the night (it ended by 9:30 or so). Little kids, teenagers and adults (young and old) danced, laughed and had fun to music that was family friendly! Overall I would say that this is a great place to stay and we will be back (my wife and I spent our final day wandering around the place with a map, marking our preferred spots for next time)!!! The owners even let us stay past the check-out time because no one was coming in behind us, leaving us to extend our time and feel no pressure to leave on time. Again...the owners are new and VERY friendly (an older couple and their son) so don't let the comments about rude owners dissuade you from this place.
