No friendlier people anywhere. Dave and Nancy are awesome. They have done so much for us! Can't give them a high enough rating.
Jack Tosta
Horrible personal service the owners think that this is the only campground in the market. I would not advise anyone to go there
Andrew McConnell
Stayed a week in a cottage. Easy access, amazing lake and very friendly people. Rented a boat for the day and went fishing and swimming. Canoe rental was included and the lake is great for paddling. We will be back. That said if you are looking for a resort, stay south. This is good ol northern rustic, not four star finery. It's perfect for people who like to look after themselves and enjoy the quiet.
