We had our camper there for the 2025 season. This was our first time doing a seasonal and it was the best decision we ever made. I really don’t know where to begin with all the positives. Everything is meticulously maintained and clean. The owners really take pride in their resort and it shows. They have every weekend planned out for all ages and lots of family activities too. The pool is great and so warm with plenty of seating in the sun or shade. My kids liked splitting the day between the lake and pool. I would also say this is one of the quietest campgrounds/resorts we have stayed at. Everyone was very respectful of their volume during night time fires and even music during the day. We unfortunately couldn’t renew for another season and will miss our little slice of up north fun.

We stayed at The Rv resort not realizing that it was an exclusive permanent Rv sites. There were some sites for non seasonal RVs. The price for a pop up trailer was totally ridiculous which is my fault for not looking at price. Bathrooms were far, but very clean. We didn’t know a playground even existed. The pool was cold. For 90 a night it should be heated. The flies were really bad. This place is really missing the Summer vibe. I didn’t feel that they were kid friendly at all. The grounds staff were friendly, and the grounds were immaculately kept. The office staff made no effort for conversation. If you’re not in a big camper this is not the place to be. If you want a fun summer sit around the campfire vibe this isn’t it. Very disappointed.

Had a FANTASTIC experience camping at Birch Bay! One of the cleanest, most pristine campgrounds we've been to. Beautiful pool, lots of great snacks and treats in the lodge, fun little arcade for the kids, and the inflatable obstacle course on the lake was a blast! Nice big campsites, great firepits, and just an overall comfortable stay! Very friendly and helpful staff too.. can't recommend this place enough. We WILL be back!!

Truly a little slice of heaven on earth! The entire place has been renovated!! Grounds and amenities are top notch. They have two beautiful new pickleball courts so bring your paddles! Lake front has an amazing course of inflatables for the kids! Birch bay is also very family friendly! Agate lake is a joy to kayak and fish! You will truly enjoy your experience!!! Add this to the top of your list for campgrounds to visit!
