Birdsong Resort, Marina and Family Lakeside RV Campground

I found this campground through Harvest Host.  We had a quiet and pleasant stay right by the water.  It is a popular location as all sites were filled but we had a backin with no hookups.  We found a dog area with ample room for walks.  The pearl museum was an interesting experience.

This is a “Resort Wanabe.” This campground has been managed by current owners since 1961; before that it was managed by his father. The grounds have many older mobile homes that are privately owned or rented. There are many RV sites, most are occupied by what appears to be long-termers with old rigs.  The marina docks appear ancient and poorly maintained, with rented slips full of undermaintained pontoon boats. There is a sunken barge and boat in the marina. OTA TV service is very poor with 3 digital channels, all pixelated. The Wi-Fi service is accessible only from the "Resort" center, which houses a pearl museum and store. The staff are friendly and helpful. We were allocated either Site #1 or #2, which are narro2 pull-throughs close to and parallel to the lake shore. I initially chose #2 as it was flatter, but it was close to the #3 site with dog poop at several places in the grass and even on #2's pad - the elderly neighbors were not good camping neighbors. We moved our rig into Site #1 to have a somewhat clean area to make the service connections. We noted several sites along the lake, most were on a hill that would require some leveling efforts for occupying rigs. $143.21 for two nights

 We couldn’t find the office called and they said to find us a place. I had reservations for a pull through. The man who answered the phone asked my name and said there was one left, but we didn’t have to take it if we wanted a different spot. Quiet, pull through site are fairly level, the back ins are not. The quoted price was $60, but after taxes and $7 per dog charges our bill was $88.39. No dog park or poop bags. 

We were lucky to be able to snag a prime waterfront spot on a summer weekend. We enjoyed fishing at our doorstep, but there are boat rentals - just reserve in advance! There is a pearl museum here too.  Quiet and fun family run park.  

We stayed in this RV park on a recent cross country trip.  I would say it is mainly a marina but it was definitely off-season.  The sites are not at all level and would take some serious jacking to help.  Some Class A's there were clearly NOT leveled.  The park itself needs some serious upgrades.  Our site had plywood over a manhole cover and hoses coming out of it (directly under the rig).  There was lots of debris and storm leftovers around.  It just looked unkempt.  Passing through for one night was fine but there was not much to do there (realizing it isn't summer!). 

The bathroom was small but clean and the shower small but clean.  We walked through the tent campground and it is definitely not level and I have a hard time figuring out where you would put a car if you drove there. The tent sites were not delineated. The map showed parking at the other end of the marina, not convenient at all for tenters. There were few if any picnic tables available, a must for tent campers.  

The RV sites were very close together and some folks who came in after us had to use a different site's water because theirs was not working.  Several rigs looked abandoned, contributing to the overall run down look.  

The folks in the office were very friendly and we would come back but only if we were just passing through...not for a week long stay. 

I give Birdsong a 2.5 out of 5. 
Pros: VERY quiet park, close to the water, minimal road noise, full hook ups, would be great if your planning to be on the water. Dated but well kept and clean.
Cons: NO WIFI at all, cell signal was 2-3 bars average, most of the spots are concrete but VERY not level, I was told they would bring us what ever cribbing we needed to get us level.  There was another Class A with the front wheels fully in the air! Specific spots are not able to be reserved.  Not much for kids or adults to do if your not on/in the water. Laundry house is not much more than a old shed, kind of sketchy.

This place is great. The staff are so friendly and go out of their way to help. It is gorgeous. Our RV spot was right on the water. Beautiful view that can’t be beat. Would recommend.
