We had a great week at Egyptian Hills over the 4th of July week! Karla was great getting us booked and checking us in. Love that the checkout and cleanup tasks were minimal. Resort is great, the kids LOVED the water obstacle course and the seating area in the swim platform has plenty of seating. Can’t wait to come back for another visit!!
