Nice campground. We have stayed in deluxe cabin 6 three times. Always clean and neat. Has pet waste stations which are kept clean and have baggies available. Enjoyed our stay very much.

We stayed for my Birthday and it was so peaceful and quiet, exactly what we were looking for!! They offer weekend activities and we were there during Spooky Season; the park was tastefully decorated and festive for Fall, they even had a Haunted Trail for those looking for activities without even needing to leave the campground. The store had everything we needed during our stay and we even had the option of a light menu for things like pizza and ice cream right there on site. We would absolutely go back!

Had a great time. We had a very spacious wooded back in site. It was just the right distance from the very clean Rest/Shower Rooms. We enjoyed it so much, we are returning next year.

We stayed in cabin 4 which was eclipse, one of the luxurious cabins. They had everything we would need and more! Loved the safety feeling of staying up here. Which is rare in the deep woods. A minor detail that we noticed was under the bed was a cup and someone else’s underwear. Also spider webs up in the corners of the bathroom, we didn’t mind it but there is some people who would. I’m an honest person. We stayed for one night and was here last year! Definitely will be back again every year!
