Grand Escape Resort, Gift Shop

This place is incredible! I absolutely love it. It's an older campground that offers a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. They have an amazing breakfast buffet on weekends, and I would recommend it to anyone—unless you're looking for a condo in the woods, but where's the fun in that when you're camping and seeking relaxation? I've been coming here for 20 years, and it's always the same wonderful people. Ray and Doe are fantastic, and I enjoy seeing the cross out back. It's truly a great, serene spot. If you're looking for a condo, you might want to go elsewhere. But if you want to camp and unwind, this is the place to be. Love you, Mama, Die, and Ray!

My experience at this cabin with my three kids was disappointing. The place was unclean, and my youngest ended up crawling on the floor and got really dirty. There were cobwebs on the windows and a layer of dust on everything. When I brought up my concerns, the man who managed the cabin was extremely rude. His wife tried to defend him while he checked the cabin, insisting that it was clean and shouted at me that cobwebs form overnight. It was a terrible experience overall. I recommend steering clear of these dirty cabins and their disrespectful owners. I won't even get into the snide comment the woman made about me to my father. At least we got a refund, but it’s unacceptable to yell at paying guests!

This is the second time my mom and I have stayed here in five years, and we loved it just as much as the first time. We stayed in the “park model,” which provided a peaceful atmosphere. The cabin was clean, spacious, well-equipped, and kept cool. The beds were very comfortable, and we enjoyed lounging on the large porch while watching the fire. Mama and Papa Doe, along with their daughter, were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The price for our three-day stay was excellent! I would absolutely recommend visiting Cook Forest, whether in the summer or fall. Five stars!!!

Very peaceful and welcoming caring owners
