Nestled among tall pines and hardwoods, this family-owned park provides a classic camping experience that prioritizes nature and relaxation. Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway or a longer seasonal stay, the park's atmosphere is defined by its quiet evenings and scenic beauty.

The park is situated just north of the village of Cambridge, a charming community known for its historic architecture and artistic spirit. The surrounding landscape is a mix of fertile farmland and dense forests, offering a true escape from urban congestion. One of the primary draws is the immediate proximity to Lake Lauderdale, a spring-fed body of water that enhances the local microclimate and provides a serene backdrop for morning walks.

The layout is designed to accommodate different rig sizes while maintaining a sense of privacy through natural tree cover and thoughtful site placement.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Local farmers' markets and antique shops in Cambridge provide a delightful way to spend an afternoon tasting regional flavors.

We stayed in the larger cabin that sleeps 6 and had a wonderful stay. The cabin was so cozy, and even with chilly mid 30 degree temps at night we were still very warm from the portable heater. Everyone we spoke with was super helpful suggesting local food spots or good hiking trails. The owner of the campground was very nice and accommodating, helping provide recommendations on how we could access the lake to use our paddle boat. We had a wonderful fall day paddling around and enjoying the scenery around us. We would definitely book again in the future, and recommend the campground to others.

Marianne and her group at Lake Lauderdale campground are amazing!! We limped into the campground with transmission issues. Assuming we would be there longer than our scheduled 2 nights she put us in a site that would allow us to stay as long as we needed. Then the guys got us information about a local transmission shop. They also invited us to a get together that evening and a camp breakfast the next morning. At a time when I was a complete crying mess the folks here treated us like family.

Me and my group stayed at the premium tent sites. The area was well wooded in between the sites, which was nice to have some separation from the other groups. We booked for site 143, and when we got there and registered one of the directors told us we should stay at 148 since it was a bigger site. They had a porta potty set up in the tent area, which was surprisingly fairly clean, as well as a sink. The bathrooms and showers in the main entrance area were also clean if you’re planning on staying for a few nights. One thing: the ground at the tent sites are a bit rocky, so I’d suggest bringing sleeping pads of some kind.

This RV Park was bought in 2021 and the new owner Mark renovated just about everything! I give few reviews but this park deserves it. We arrive and get escorted to our site, a site with lots of grass and and clean hook-ups! Upon arriving we are greeted by several other campers one offering pork ribs ( they were good!) From ownership and management I give five stars. Beautiful RV Park!
