Good: -Reserved spot via text: kind of a neat/new aged way of reserving spots. Not sure if an online reservation program is on the radar for the future but I didn’t mind the texts. -Pretty close to everything: grocery, golf, fishing, shopping, restaurants, etc. -Lots of shade! -New septic system/working towards improvements: understanding how running a business works, I saw how hard the new owners are working towards improving this campground and have already upgraded the septic system. -Quiet: I’m an old man at heart, so I can appreciate the quiet sometimes! :) -Full hookups: electric, water, dump station -Firewood $1/Log: usually campgrounds will require you to pay $5-$10 for a bundle. I liked being able to grab a log or two for $1 each. -They fill propane!: this is the first camp

Bathrooms were absolutely filthy. Garbage all over the floor and counter. Broken toilet, showers moldy. (We had to drive to the Casey's store to use the restroom all weekend and take sponge baths to wash up. Waited till we got home to a clean shower). It looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the last time we were here, 6 years ago. They cater to long-term contractors who have full hook-ups. But they are neglecting the weekend campers who use campground restrooms and shower houses.||I understand the owner is going through chemo treatment for cancer and I sympathize, my mother is too. But if you can't do the work and keep facilities clean then you need to hire someone who can. Either that or close down or sell to someone who will make it nice again.||This use to be a nice little campground

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Benjamin Desrosiers · Dec 2024

We have stayed at this campground under previous ownership, 3 years ago. New owners took over and tout new management as a perk of the campground. There are 2 restroom/shower houses but one has been out of order since we stayed there in 2021-2022. Men and women have to share the other bathroom which means most of the time, the door is locked. The one time we tried to use it, it was trashed. The playground equipment is old and questionably safe. Definitely has been upgraded since our last stay. There is no staff on site. All of these issues that have existed for years, but they were adding new campsite. So more people can camp and have no facilities to use? The owners are very elitist so if you are travelling with new camper or a fancy class A, you will be fine. Which is ironic considerin

★★★★★ 5.0 JOHN G HOOKER · Feb 2025

Wild Oak Campground & RV Park is fantastic. Wonderful location very close to the interstate freeway. HUGE mature oak trees are beautiful and provide great shade. They were attentive to all of my needs and quickly responded to all of my correspondence. I was there for three (3) months and I would stay there again and again. I recommend Wild Oak to anyone who's living the RV life!

Quiet and respectful neighbors. Good internet. Consistent maintenance by owners. Price is higher than some but lower than others. However, so much space for kids to play or nature walk with so many mature trees. There is a small creek in the back 40. Easy pull through for big rigs. Less than a block away is a bow hunting nature area. Ready access to food, gas, highway. Golf course, park and carousel (yes, a real carousel) is about a mile down the road. I can't say how it is to camp in a tent. As for transient workers...(sorry Karen) I am one. Proud of my job, house, RV, husband and the bank account that a job provides. Most "transient" workers are professionals in a high demand trade and paid well and appropriately.
