You are greeted at the security booth by the welcoming security staff. Since we had to register, they directed us to the Welcome Center. In the welcome center we were provided our site information, a map of the park and some additional information about the resort. On the park map the directions to our site were drawn and were easy to follow. On busy check-in days, campers are directed from the security booth, to follow the red line to the satellite check in center for campers.

On our way to our site, we passed the Funplex, tennis courts, skate park, the pools, hot tub, three waterslides, splash pad and the paint ball course. Our pull through water, electric and sewer site was on the edge of a beach front quarry stocked with fish.

The Sherkston quarry offers guests in the resort a great dive site. The quarry became a dive site in 1917 when the water pumps quit working one night after the workers went home. The next morning the workers showed up at work and knew they were out of a job. It is a great place to dive when conditions are right. There is quite a bit to see including  lots of fish, walls, train engines, rocks, a pump house, training platforms for students, a haunted tree, golf carts, boats and a great community atmosphere. Maximum depth is 40 feet with visibility ranging from 0-65 feet.
