This location is so peaceful and has a great pond with swing benches to sit in to enjoy the scenery. Very helpful and nice staff! The campground has very clean facilities and includes a game room and a place to purchase snacks. Great experience!

Beautiful setting. Well maintained. Paved roads in campground. Beautiful large lake and green open spaces. A little far away. Poor internet reception.

We spent 3 nights at this campground and were very happy with the experience. It’s mostly occupied by seasonal and full time RVs but it was well maintained and quiet. We’ll be returning soon.

We've camped here seasonally for years. It's perfect for young families - swing sets, game room, ice cream; teens - basketball, volleyball, pond for fishing; retired folks - shuffleboard, BINGO, golf cart rides... Fun family events for the holidays. (They ARE picky about site construction and not consistent with the rules) - otherwise A+ establishment.
