We stayed here in June. Our family had a great time despite it raining all weekend. There was a rib cookoff happening which we attended. Everyone was very friendly and food was good. They have a really nice game room, variety of books & movies to borrow. Their playground equipment was is good condition and had some activities for the older kids like shuffle board, pickleball, bags and horseshoes. The shower /bathroom facilities were clean and well lit. The store was decent as well. Our site was a good size with plenty of room to park 2 vehicles. We plan to stay here next year and utlize the boat rental services they have. Fingers crossed for good weather!

Our camp site was clean, fire ring was emptied and the lawn was mowed when we arrived. A very quiet area. The lake is a short walk across the steet from the campground with piers to fish off of. The owner (Judy) was very informative, courteous, and friendly. It was like we had known her for many years , but this was our first time staying at this campground. We will be back to stay in the near future. We highly reccomend this campground. Also many events are posted for different times of the year. We are sorry we didn't book our time for the chili cook off.

We had a great time at Pelican Lake Campground and hope to go back next camping season. The weekend sites are very spacious, plenty of grass, and pretty level. All the weekend sites have water and electricity hookups. Nice, clean bathroom and shower facilities with a dump station in the campground. There is a nice playground for kids and a volleyball court. While we don't have kids, my husband and I had fun in the arcade! The lake is across the road from the campground, and they are pet friendly.

The new owners of this campground are motivated to bringing back an enjoyable campers paradise. The campgrounds and sites are clean, well maintained, monitored and comfortable. The playground is huge, providing more than enough activities for kids of all ages. The restrooms are clean and any issues are being addressed in a timely manner. Pets require leashes and cleanup. Quiet hours are enforced leading to a wonderfully relaxing stay. Holidays are celebrated even if they don't occur until after season closure, they just move the date!
