Very peaceful and welcoming environment. The neighbors here are all very friendly and kind. Grocery store is right up the street as well as a hardware store for and diy projects, and plenty of spots to dining out. Lots to do in the area from the lake. Great place to come back to for the summer

RV camping and the location is excellent. Near the lake in a quiet and peaceful little retreat area. Restrictions include a non-smoking / non-drinking campsite. Great little spot in NW Indiana to enjoy the region.

We stayed here out of location convenience. Be aware that there is no dump station. Also the well water smells HORRIBLE . I’m unsure how often (or if) the water is treated. This is suppose to be a “Christian Camp”. However, the camp host is one of the rudest people I’ve ever met. Literally, rolling on his cart yelling at everyone. Threatened to kick out family out for barely going over the 5 mile an hour speed limit. I’ve heard several others complain about his demeanor. Very Un-Christ like. Do yourself a favor and look for a better campground, if you can.

Very unfriendly! We backed into our spot and the manager came over and yelled dogs on a leash. Our dogs were walking from the truck to the trailer. He sat and watched us almost our whole stay. camplot was unlevel. 20 Amp breaker on a 30 amp plug. Picnic table unsteady to sit on. Only good part was shower house was nice and clean. Only reason I gave a star.
