Had a short stay in the RV park while driving across the island. The price seemed reasonable ($45 for a site with 30A power, water and grey water onsite), and the fact that you have two different waterfronts on the property for two different lakes is pretty cool. I just wish they had at least one flush toilet facility there... But at least the vault toilets didn't smell badly compared to other RV parks we've visited! Also, they need to cut a path in the woods from the RV sites 211 to 213 to the closest vault toilets, rather than having to walk down the road so far to the stairs leading to the toilets by the showers. But aside from that, we had a great stay!

Came here for a 2 night tenting getaway, paid extra for a site with electricity hookups but they never informed me that it was 240amp only and no 110, also no bathrooms near the site at all and along with all this I got reported for speeding wile I was setting up my tent (speed limit is 15 and I was going 10 even have dash cam to prove it. Highly recommend not going here as. The site was also 115$ for a 2 night stay which is pricey for how rude the staff are that work here.

Great family friendly campsite with many different site options to fit your needs. They also accommodate rooftop tents. Staff were friendly and sites are clean and well maintained. Looking forward to our next visit!
