We loved our stay at Thumper Pond. We stayed on a Thursday night and had the entire waterpark to ourselves for several hours that evening as well as the following morning. Staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Was price friendly for a last minute stay with plenty of activities for us and our kids to enjoy.

We came for a wedding and enjoyed it. Except we tried to go to Willy T’s and couldn’t sit down because the booked out the whole restaurant for Mother’s Day. We thought for as much as the room is there would be free breakfast or something

Everything was so great! Waterpark was very fun and open long hours, no extra cost for admission, very easygoing! The chlorine and fumes were not an issue at all! Water was warm, a bit cooler in baby area.
