We stayed for 6 days remote working on the lakeside. Connie & Phil were the nicest campground owners. Very well kept and clean. Perfect work/live balance. Highly recommend.
Rachel Delage
Coni and staff are absolutely FANTASTIC! You can tell that they take great pride in their campground (as they should). So many activities for families with littles, or families without littles. Although it is near a busy road, you don't even hear the traffic. Restrooms are very clean. All around a great place. Thanks staff for making our stay great! We'll definitely be back

Wow... just wow!!! The service, the scenery and the amenities were all more than we could have asked for! To list just a few they've got a heated pool with two slides, hot showers, a large park, beach front AND boat rentals!! The campground itself was clean and maintained between each guest. A truly relaxing destination! We enjoys hours of relaxing under the trees in our rocking camping chairs and then switched to 'excitement mode' and rented a pontoon. Prices were incredibly reasonable as well! The campground manager, Connie was an absolute gem and runs a great business there!

I am completely livid with this business owner or whoever Connie is to make a blatant lie about my family up. I would love to see proof and it’s defamation of character to speak about somebody having intercourse on their beach. Please be cautious if you stay here because this never happened. We were traveling with a 90-year-old mother of mine and we were her caregivers. I would think twice about ever staying at this place because of their blatant lies.

Our family absolutely loves this campground! We started coming here for a family vacation when covid shut things down and we could not travel far....it has now become our yearly family vacation tradition because we love it so much! Owners are great and treat you like family! Our kids love the pool, playground and basketball area! It is all very well maintained and family friendly. Can't say enough gold things about this place! I hope we can continue to enjoy this place for many years!
