Spring Gulch Resort Campground - Thousand Trails

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. It’s not the least expensive place you will ever stay but the sites are big, bathhouses very clean, and amenities are great (2 pools, fishing lake, sandy beach, mini golf, sand volleyball, small fitness center, basketball, whirlpool, playground, horseshoes, game room, laundry, tennis court, etc). On the weekends they have plenty of family activities including Bingo on Friday and often live music of some sort on Saturday.

The Elite sites (most expensive) are huge! With plenty of shade and privacy. (See photo) Gravel back in sites with both 30 and 50 AMP service. They also have many other type of sites with full hookup, just water and electric and dry camping, etc. They also have cottages, cabins, park models and houses for rent. All rates are based on 2 adults, they do charge for additional people.

All in all if you are looking for a wild and crazy time - this isn’t it. If you are looking for a cheap night (or two) away - this isn’t it. But if you enjoy having a really clean and well maintained experience where people are friendly - I can’t recommend it enough!

We live locally. We were impressed by the size and cleanliness of this park. We stayed in the lower area. The bathrooms and showers were extremely clean and well lit. By far the best shower houses we’ve experienced!! There are 2 pools that do get crowded. Also available are mini golf, shuffle board, sand volleyball, lakes for swimming and fishing. Each site had a nice campfire ring and grate for grilling.

Stayed one night while visiting friends. Beautiful park but narrow country streets to get there and in park. Site grass and fairly level. Looks like plenty if activities for adult and kids. Dance barn, exercise room, miniature golf and swimming pools. Beautiful countryside in Amish country. Couldn’t get satilite but internet good. Would love to stay and visit area.

The water and electric sites are $43. The the full hookup sites are $58.

The Campground was awesome, we really loved it. It was a bit noisy though. There are roosters at a nearby farm that crow pretty early. There was also a seasonal camper that was using his chainsaw to cut wood for the better half of an hour. Not ideal but one bad apple did not dampen our impression of this great campground.

If we had stuck to our simple Thousand Trails Zone pass we would never have discovered it. Since it is an Encore property, we needed the Trails Collection upgrade to stay. Keep in mind though, that the Trails Collection pass allows you to stay, but full hookups are a premium offering and are not included. We opted for just water and electric and there is a dump station on site. One of the cons not mentioned in the video is that laundry here is uber-expensive. It is $2.50 to wash and $2.50 to dry. The previous campground had the price set at $1.50. Needless to say, we only washed one load of laundry.

We will return sometime in the future.
