Some very friendly owners! Super location. Camp spots are a bit smaller but very very well kept. Went with my fiancee and we both had a blast. There is turtles if you go out on the lake mainly to the right. Also the ducks are hilarious 😂😂😂. They offer quality firewood at great deals! They offer free use of kayaks, peddle boats, and a canoe! For how many people that were there for August long we still got to use the kayaks numourous times. Can hear the road at times in the night but if that's all you have to complain about then life is good!

We stayed here for three nights, having extended our stay. We were lucky to have a lakeside site, with beautiful views and a relatively private feel. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We were given a tour and choice of site and he lent us blocks to level our RV. As mentioned in other reviews, he’s often seen on the campground, carrying out repairs, assisting campers or having a chat. It gives a real sense of caring and support. And cherry on the cake : the laundry facilities are modern and clean (and cheap).

The staff here are extremely friendly and welcoming, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, the number of bugs was overwhelming during our stay. Another major downside is the lake—it was either covered in duck droppings or so silty that you’d sink a foot into the ground. There’s also no privacy between campsites. The price is great for what you get, but overall, it’s not a place I’d choose to return to.

What pleasant and quiet place to camp. Thoroughly enjoyed my tenting experience. Nice clean bathroom facilities and friendly staff. I will be back.

Was pleasantly surprised at this little gem of an RV park. Family owned & run and pride in ownership is evident everywhere you look. The grounds are immaculate & the facilities are clean & well tended. Everyone is so friendly. We will definitely recommend & be back. Perfect staycation spot!!
