I wanted to give a special shoutout to Robert at Orchard Springs Campground. When my cousin and I arrived with our pontoon boat, we discovered the battery was dead because we had accidentally left the master switch on. Robert went above and beyond to help us. He took time out of his day to come down to the launch area, waited while we maneuvered the boat and trailer, and even got into the water so he could connect jumper cables and help get us back up and running. Thanks to his kindness and willingness to help, we were able to enjoy our day on the lake instead of having it ruined before it even started. What impressed me most was his positive attitude and genuine concern for making sure guests had a good experience. At the end of the day, he even remembered us and asked if we had enjoyed our time on the water. Robert is a great example of outstanding customer service, and Orchard Springs is fortunate to have him. Thank you again for your help and professionalism!

Easy place to put in our boat. Great parking. Good price. The store was a little bare on selections, so bring your stuff with you. Super easy to get to and safe. Not crowded at all and was quiet at night. Mostly families the three times we've been. Good place for the paddleboards to be put in also. Overall 5/5 stars.

Easter Sunday. Store was closed. Boat launch was closed. But entry kiosk was empty. Nobody there. Fished the dock, caught a bass.cool spot. Severely overpriced for what you get when they charge for it.

Gorgeous and quiet here in the fall & winter- no one here: one of my favorite places to hike and (fish). Parking fee is $20. Oh and if you’re loud and want to party, don’t come here please, good people want to keep this lake quiet and clean: the losers who leave bad reviews - stay away!
