Great stay, but a little noisy.

We had a great stay at the Funky Turtle. The house was clean and just enough space for my family of 5. The house is close to campground bathrooms if the occasional extra bathroom is needed. We enjoyed the fire pit, use of the grill, and sitting on the porch. Our only complaint is about the noise but it was clear from the map that the campground was located near an interstate. While sitting outside you can hear the noise from the interstate and close by trains. However, inside was much quieter. We also visited during a holiday week. The campground was very busy and noisy (despite the sound restrictions) on the holiday, but after that there were fewer campers and it was much quieter. We loved watching the fish and turtles swimming near the property. We would definitely recommend this house for anyone wanting to get away for a bit.
