Great little family run campground. Quite, serine. No loud music🌛 after hours is a plus!! Pool is nice and clean🏊♂️🏊♀️ they take great care in the maintenance. No diving. Deep end is not 8 feet. Public bathrooms Inside store/ eatery🍔🍟🍦🍭. Gathering room for posts activities or for you to call for a time slot for parties and events. Play ground for the nuggets🥰 it's small but filled with lots of sand! Cornhole for the biggins. Again, on the activity list posts. 2 Ponds🌻 are cute & attracts nuggets to fish🐟 and look 👀for frogs🐸 turtles 😁 One large pond for swimming and activities. Clean, inviting, fun for all, and even a dock for lounging and a dock in the pond to jump off! Some extras, just call and ask🤗 for site information or visit the website. Many sites for seasonal or temporary visitors.

It's a very relaxing family oriented campground. Activities, music and food. Oh and the pool is great except that they close it so early in the evening and after Labor Day.

We stayed in the King George’s cabin and it was perfect for any “glamper”! Very clean and comfortable. Nice pool and lake- lots of fun for kids. Staff was wonderful and very kind. Campground was a great central location to lots of hiking and sightseeing in the surrounding areas. We really enjoyed our stay!
