This is our first time here, very nice! First off we were very impressed at just how helpful and friendly Billie was and stayed during our 2 weeks here. She always checked to make sure everything was good, much appreciated that kindness. The free showers, bathhouse and laundry room was so clean and sparkling. We will 100% be back here. Thank you!

Billy and Charlie are the cats pajamas! They make this campsite one of my favorites. They were super accommodating with getting us a site close to the wifi router, since we work remote. Park was clean, lovingly maintained, and the planned activities were a hoot! I really felt like I was in a community when I started there and was sad to leave. Stayed for around 6 weeks over the summer of 2021. Beautiful country right on the water. Couldn't ask for more!

Immaculate bathrooms and showers. Kitchen and laundry in perfect order. We were thrilled with our tent campsite tucked away in the woods. Absolutely lovely owner, such a nice lady! We wish it hadn't been so cool and rainy else we would have gone swimming on the private beach.
