"I love staying at this RV park. The RV host is friendly and it’s exceptionally reasonable rates in Richmond. Great Lodge and friendly people. Many Saturdays they even do a Dutch oven lunch."

— Neal Tyson

⭐⭐⭐⭐

"This is your basic Elks Lodge being that it's 30+ years since there's been a renovation in here but it's clean, spacious and nice with a decent staff, apple kitchen facilities for caterers to cook up perfect for the neighborhood birthday party/wedding reception. Bathrooms were only fit no more than about 2 to 3 people at a time, so don't wait to the last minute, decent parking lot off the street for a small number of guest"

— Auintard Henderson
