We absolutely love this camp ground, it really is one of our favorites. Over the past few years we have noticed a decline in the cleanliness of the facilities. The large bathrooms in the back are almost always out of paper towels, the floors in the stalls are always covered in sand a mold on the walls and ceiling. The showers stalls and curtains are moldy and I don’t think they have been changed in years. Something that could easily be corrected with a simple mop and some soapy water or even a hose. The service at the bar was not great and the food was mediocre. We will continue to go back as stated in the beginning of the review, it is one of our favorites. We just wish the bathrooms were more taken care of.

The campground can get a little rowdy as all do from time to time. We had three different campers next to us blast different music selections all the while the lake area offered a fourth variety of music all day. The lake inflatables were the star of the show. The food options were great. They also have very spacious full- hookup with pull through’s. However the camp ground is run down in all other places. The kid’s play ground needs updated from the rusty metal and non- working parts and some of the swings were broken. The mini golf although it was free was the worst I’ve ever seen. But again it was free. Staff was friendly and the out door live venue was wonderful.

Can't help the rain, yet I can say I was completely impressed with Kinny Lake. And their arts and crafts leader Hailey on Friday gave me a nice rest from fron the kids. Not to mention they had an AMAZING time doing crafts with her. The 80's dance was also a BLAST...... Thank you for a GREAT weekend to Hailey and the entire crew.........

Loved the pool and pond bartenders! They are so great and so understanding and were very accommodating to our needs. We Love Raes and Andrei!! Can't wait to come beach next year. They make the best drinks and and food.

When we walked into our cabin (“rustic cabin”) it was not clean dirty with bugs everywhere and food all over the floors. We paid a significant amount of money for this trip and to be honest it was not worth it due to it not being clean. We asked the manager to clean the cabin when we got there and picked up two crumbs and left. There were still dead bugs and goldfish still on the loft part from the last people. It’s practically an unfinished shed with wonderful plywood with thin mattress. The ladder is straight and is not safe. I thought the fan was going to fall off the ceiling and it hard to not hit your head on the fan when climbing up. We get a mini fridge and it doesn’t even work. There were nails hanging out of the walls and ceiling. Someone could have poked out their eyes (no one did). It is nothing like what it looks like in the pictures. Very disappointed. 200 dollars a night for this. Never coming here again. Last year, we went to their other campground (oasis) and the other camper was so much nicer and way more comfortable. We went to get wings on Thursday at the bar and the bartender was not nice. She snapped at a few people and didn’t seem welcoming. I work in the restaurant industry and you always treat people with respect. While we were staying for the weekend, I showered in the bathhouse and there were clumps of hair and didn’t fell sanitary. I wanted to throw up. We also went into the lake midday just to go swimming and it smelt like poop around the lake and in the lake. I like the obstacles though otherwise. Our group wanted to go to the bathroom before we left and we went to the bathrooms by the pond. In the men’s and women’s bathrooms, all the toilets were clogged with poop and puke. With the trip we had, we made it work.
