These features provide a balanced mix of essential convenience and outdoor fun for visitors of all ages.

Big park, multiple pull thru sites, friendly staff, level spots. I would recommend if you are looking for a place in the area. Wifi can be spotty if the park is full, if you are someone working from home, I would recommend having a backup. Locations prefect, not a lot of traffic noise.

Kyle and his wife were incredible campground hosts — warm, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. If you’re looking for a place to truly disconnect and escape from the outside world, this is it. It’s a bit of a drive to get anywhere, but that’s exactly what makes it special. We felt completely secluded in our own little mountain paradise. The property is spacious with plenty to explore. Between the nearby Mennonite communities, the beautiful waterfalls, and the endless stars at night, this place felt peaceful and grounding. An amazing place to let your dogs run and play. The closest town, Sparta, is worth the trip — it has a fantastic downtown coffee shop and a pizza place that blew us away. The coffee was exceptional, and the pizza and wings were to die for. Pro tip: order the orange zest wings — you won’t regret it. Just a few tips before you go: • Bring cash for the Mennonite shops. • Expect limited cell service — consider it part of the charm. • The nearest store is about a 20–30 minute drive, so stock up ahead of time. • Follow Apple Maps using Highway 111 — do not take the backroad it sometimes suggests; we made that mistake and got stuck! All in all, this campground was a solid 9 out of 10 — peaceful, private, and perfect for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy nature the way it was meant to be.

Wow, just wow. What a beautiful piece of country. Great place to call home for a few days. My dogs and I loved the fresh air, manicured lawns, people, pull through rv sites and the peace. What a fun location to so much nature too. One day we went to explore the near by waterfalls. I'd happily come back and visit this location.

This place was perfectly located about 15 min from the state park. The price of $15 for a tent was awesome as well. Very pretty campground! Just be sure to keep cash around this area as a lot of things, businesses are ran by Amish, which to me was a very big plus and my daughter loved to see the horses and carriages roaming around.

Mountain Glen is a beautiful campground. Exceptionally well maintained. Owner was very friendly and accommodating despite my late arrival. There is a catch and release pond and a beautiful cascade. The bathrooms are individual showers with toilet and sinks. There are laundry facilities and a lounge with TV, treadmill, and games.
