Hey there - so, after reading the reviews of this campground, I wasn’t super-thrilled that we had already booked and paid. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The sites are big and some offer 30-amp power if you need to run your a/c. There’s not a ton of privacy, but the campground is well spaced out and as quiet as you would expect a comptroller d to be. From 10pm-7am it is virtually silent. There are lots of kids and decent facilities. I don’t know what happened to warrant the very poor reviews, but having been here I find those reviews very difficult to believe. It is unfortunate the campground didn’t respond, but that’s life. This is a spot on the river worth checking out!

My family and I highly recommend Daisy May to anyone who is looking for a beautiful and amazing campground. We were recommended to stay at Daisy May campground by my boss who is a seasonal camper there. We booked our site for July and Aug after our current camp rental had some issues. Lets just say we loved it so much that we are now seasonal campers! The heated pool is just amazing, the kids love it and so do all our friends. Since our first weekend stay they have gone above and beyond and so welcoming to new campers. My family loved it so much they booked a seasonal spot as well.
