This place is awesome. Super low key, kid friendly with a great value. I personally loved it and will be back.
Bev Helsel
Small lots, no room for family to visit. We came up for a picnic. Nice day. I personally would not camp here.
Ken Sowers
Small, well kept family owned park. Owner came to site to greet, lawns kept cut/clean, lots of mature shade trees on almost every lot. Has heated salt water pool, game room, big kids plat area, stocked fishing pond, security/carded entry gate. Seems most the seasonal campers are weekend warriors, so mid-week was a quiet, peaceful stay.

If u have kids this is a good place to go. But for those of us who r older & looking for a quiet place to spend a wknd, this wasn't a good time. There was a young fam next to us & the parents spent their time in the camper while the kids chased each other around our camper. The had a nerf gun & was shooting each other thru under our camper. The 10:00 p.m. curfew was not enforced with these children. They were outside screaming yet at 10:30 p.m. We won't b going back.

Being an hour from home makes it nice for us. Visited a few weeks ago and it was good. Heated pool is awesome Wifi was fantastic. 2 tvs running no lag Level sites which is a bonus Perfect to walk around or use the bike Very friendly. Bathrooms are decent. But water pressure isn't great. That's ok Bingo was fun. Firepits could use replacing but not horrible. 15 minutes from kitanning or Indiana is not bad. Definitely be back
