We used to camp here often when it was privately owned and it was great. We are not welcome under the new owners because we have a dog over 50 pounds, I emailed them to confirm that the 50 pound rule included camping or if it was just for the mobile home park but they could not be bothered to return my email

Quiet park with nice private lake, no gas motors, kayak friendly, with a floating dock and nice swimming area with beach

What a great place to visit. All the people are wonderful. The park is clean always, we visit family every year and always have a blast. If there were one thing I could change it would be a beach area with sand by the lake like it used to .

Dirty place.... the water is poison, you can't shower, brush your teeth unless you boil it, and even then, they said it might not be good. You can not swim in the lake. No one can use the canoes. The dock is nice. The dumpsters are always full except on trash day. It's now classified as a trailer park, so there is no resort there.

Me & the wife love this place . People are so friendly. Always something to do. Love the relaxation. The staff is always accommodating. Hot showers. The lake is nice to swim in & fish . Community bonfire on the weekends.
