If I could give 11/10, I would. Everything about Lazy Rock is excellent. The owners are friendly. The facilities are spotless. The sites are spacious and well groomed. The views are spectacular. Kevin and Sue do a fantastic job. The swimming is tremendous, weed free and a spacious sandy beach with lots of seating. We'll definitely be back.

This is our second time staying at Lazy Rock campground. This year we had a water front camp site the view was awesome. We even got to see a train passing through on the other side of the lake it was rather cool to see at night. . What makes this campground stand out for us is the friendly and comical room service personnel... want a great service to have! The park is very well maintained and the facilities are extremely clean, washrooms are big with running water and flush toilet, shower rooms are huge you will definitely have a great shower here . This campground may be small but it packs a big punch. . .See you next camping season 😊

My son & I just spent 3days/2nights at Lazy Rock and we loved it! The park is well maintained, the beach was beautiful and the bathrooms/ showers were super clean. The website and room service is a game changer for me. It is one of the many reasons I will keep coming back. The room service is so convenient! It was also a pleasure to meet Kevin. He was so polite, professional and funny!! Keep up the good work Lazy Rock!!

We arrived as blow-ins for one night, ended up staying two. Could have stayed more, but for our tight schedule. Nice sites, we were in a tent, good showers. The beach & lake were very nice & we spent a good period of time there, relaxing. Kevin, the manager, was terrific. Friendly as hell & could give it & take it too. Dashing here & there on his LWB golf cart, delivering firewood & tidying up. Great stay

Well organized and clean campground. We stayed for three nights and we were very impressed with how well kept everything was. They clearly have put a lot of effort into all the details here, from the beach to the bathrooms and showers, boat rentals and the excellent website. The lake was clean and peaceful. The only down side was the close proximity to the highway causing some traffic noise, but a small price to pay. We will definitely be back again. Thank you!!
