Nice and clean, really pleasant staff. We stayed in a cabin, only downside is there's a little man made beach where people bring their screaming children to play right in front of the cabins. The noise was out of control

It’s quite peaceful and shady in almost all RV spots. Plenty of clean Amenities. The absence of a couple of Pontoon boats for rent is the biggest downer. It’s our second, 4 day stay this year.

Great outdoor experience. People were super nice. Surprised how ready they were for an opening weekend.

Owners of the resort are awesome . The store says it closes at 6 but sometimes they are there later and will let ya in. It was freezing at night but they kept us warm with good wood and decent prices. Store prices on everything were like normal and not extremely overpriced which was so nice and they always had hot coffee . Due to the weather just warming up there were a lot of gnats but thankfully no mosquitoes! The bathrooms were clean and the resort was so clean! Our boat rental was awesome we had such An amazing time and would go back again. If your into sunsets it’s perfectly captured over the water as well.

Upper loop campsites are spectacular. They even hand rake them and they are well spaced. Lots of room and privacy. We loved it! The mosquitoes were pretty intense the first week of August. That was the only bummer! Next time, I would bring an outdoor room tent and the problem would be solved. There is so much to do locally and our son caught 18 fish over 2 days of fishing off the bank! You’ll feel like you stepped back in time visiting this resort. It’s wonderful. For the hosts: I would gladly pay extra for wifi. Please offer this for guests. (also laundry) With cell coverage being absent, in the area, this is really a need. I would be hesitant to book for longer, without WiFi access.
