We loved our experience at this charming campsite. The beach is sublime. The lake is clean and crystal clear. The manager, Mike, is super friendly and helpful. Excellent service, ever.

It’s nestled deep in the forest. It would have been nice to stay here. We arrived at 7:45pm and the place is closed and will resume business 10:am the following morning. Make sure to arrive early, they don’t operate like the other campsites where in either it’s family own and they live in the campsite or someone is in the premises to accommodate late check ins.
