DO NOT STAY HERE!!The walls were alive with bugs and covered in mold. There was sewage running on the ground with a tire rim over it next to the dome that we had rented.There was no mini golf, it was a pieces of turf thrown on the ground.Driving into the area, it was like entering a junk yard.Please, do not waste your money.We paid almost 300 and had to leave.

Not being one to complain but as four women travelling it was not a safe property. There was no no one at the gate so anyone could come in. As we drove into the property there were shacks in the area. In the 2 minutes we visited, we saw mold on the dome, 2 big holes on the bottom of dome. Ants were on the floor. The smell and heat that hit us upon opening the door was unbearable of urine and mold. The outdoor showers were a shower head and a curtain. And of course the door wouldn’t shut tight to lock. We contacted the owners immediately and we certainly left the premises. The photos of the site were Not accurate at all. Would never recommend this place ever.
