For the last 3 years we’ve booked a site at this campground to visit our friends who have a seasonal site, and we always wish we could stay longer than we do. The owners of this campground are very friendly and accommodating.The property is clean and very well-maintained. The amenities are awesome and little store they have onsite is great. If you have kids between the ages of 3-16 this place is perfect. We typically visit 6 or 7 different campgrounds every year, and the owner/hosts and seasonal residents at this campground are always the nicest and most welcoming. Thanks again!

We have been trying to find a weekend that works to come and camp with some friends of ours who have a seasonal here. The new owners, Amanda and Travis, were super easy to work with to get that scheduled. When we arrived, Amanda was wonderful in getting us to our site. The 80s party on Saturday night was fun. Our kids enjoyed all the things to do here, even our daughter who was on crutches. The amenities were great, and it was a nice facility. We will definitely be back when our daughter can really enjoy it all.
