Jeannet and Kerry went above and beyond! 1st they made checking in and getting situated so easy and gave us a great introduction to the campground. They made events like a community bonfire, karaoke, a scavenger poker event, a picnic…. All in one weekend. My group was also able to play a game of basketball on the courts. There were kayaked canoes and paddles boats for our use! I have never been to a campground like this before. It was amazing! We showed up to have a 30th birthday camping weekend for one of our friends. By the time Sunday rolled around and it was time to check out no one wanted the weekend to end. These people and the people who stay on the campground are some of the kindest and most welcoming people I have ever met. I am proud and I can now call them all friends too! Myself and my friends will surely be back to see everyone again and make more memories!

There is never anyone at the main office, so when we arrived, we had to call a number and wait for someone to come and take us to our site. We rented the tiny house. Nice house, but the bathroom smelled horrid. Around that area needed some cleaning up, but down by the pond where most of the seasonal campers are is pretty nice. It's a very quiet campground. I didn't see any activities happening while we were there, however, an icecream truck came through daily. This is not a good campground for kids. Reply to campground comment: There was no "toilet liquid" there for the toilet nor was that the excuse for the stink that you sent in the email. The issue is your ventilation system. We happen to own a 5th wheel, do not use "toilet liquid", and have never had an issue.

We ❤️ it here, and we're seasonal, campers. It's quiet, and nestled on a nice, dirt, back road, located in Hopeville Pond. There's always plenty of activities for all ages. It's not a huge campground, but large enough. The staff works very hard to keep things great. Patty, the camp manager, is more than helpful, and very patient. She has always addressed our questions, and is one of the hardest, working, people I know. This campground, should be so happy, they have her. Jim, is the events coordinator, and is very dedicated in planning, fun, weekend events. You know, it's going to be a fun time, when all your campground neighbors, show up for an event, because, Jim has planned it. Everyone here, is very friendly, and making new friends, is easy. Neighbors are always willing to help out, and just take care of each other. The campground is making, new, better, changes, but like anything, change takes a bit of time, especially after the very, harsh winter. The staff is working 110% , ALL the time, to make everything updated, so this campground will stand out. I know, that my husband and I, recognize their hard work, every day. You know what's great about this place.,.we love that it's a great secret, 3.1 miles to our home, on this beautiful, little pond, that people are beginning to talk about. It truly is awesome, to be able it sit around your campfire at night, have great conversations with your friends, and hear all the incredible sounds of "night nature" , amplifying off the pond. Jump in my kyack, grab my camera, and watch the pair of Bald Eagles, osprey, herons, and many species of ducks. Fishing here is incredible! I'm not good at it, by my neighbors are!!! I love it here. Oh wait, did I already say that 😁
