Was a fun camping trip with our two kids for their first time. They have a heated pool still open in early September when we where there. Also a arcade with even a mini merry go round. Even we're doing tractor rides around the campground.

Great campground, lots of activities on the weekends. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The spaces are big enough you will not feel crowded. I would recommend staying here.

The lady in the office was very nice and worked with us to find a full hookup spot when one was available. The pool was very nice and we had some good conversations there. The little town it's in has a couple of nice places to eat and a couple of antique malls. Not too far away, we went to the Renaissance Fair and the Mall of America.

The Campground has new owners and they are a breath of fresh air compared to the last husband wife team that owned it!!!! They have cleaned up and added many amenities and maintain the campgrounds very well. Plenty of family, fun and entertainment. The pool is very large and clean, with plenty of chairs to sit on around. I would like the pool temperature to be a little bit warmer, but that’s just me. I am a freeze baby.! I highly recommend this place, the owners are really nice and appreciative of your business. Our weekend was just wonderful..

Grandparents traveling with preschooler on their first camping trip. Lots of activities to do for all age groups. Our site was as expected for an RV park with full hook ups. Not loud. Loved the food truck option on Friday evening. Pool was clean and well maintained

We really enjoyed our stay at this campground! The owners were so kind and helpful. The laundry and restroom facilities were clean and well maintained. The camp store is well stocked. The location was so peaceful and all the people we met were so friendly. The game room, pool and playground are perfect for families with kids and there’s plenty of paved pathways for bike riding or sunset strolls. Only a few minutes away from a cute little town with groceries, restaurants, and antique shops. We will definitely be back!

This is a great campground lacated just out of town. Nice sites with plenty of shade. A HUGE bonus was the dog park behind our sites. We travel/camp with our two Australian Shepherds and they love to run. We stayed in early October, so many of the activities were not available, but we were mostly looking for a relaxing weekend for my birthday. This was our 3rd or 4th stay, and we'll definitely head back next year.

Samantha Hardin
Wonderful family owned campground. The extra activities the weekend we stayed were so enjoyable! Small petting zoo, kid and adult bingo, bags tournament and our favorite- the foam party! We all had a blast. The pool was very clean and the arcade was super fun. Travis made sure that the tokens and tickets were working properly and helped us promptly if issues arose. The little shop they have was fully stocked with any necessities we forgot. Very well maintained grounds. We will definitely be back!

We have been coming here for years, even when the previous owners had the campsite. Let me tell you the new owners are absolutely amazing! Brad , Danielle and Tyler and all the staff go above and beyond to make your experience a great one! They have done so much to make it a better family fun campsite! Our kids always have the best time! Tons of activities for the kids and adults! Corn bag tournaments and bingo are always a good time! Lots of fun theme weekends! Ice cream shop, arcade and a great clean well maintained pool! The bathrooms and shower houses are clean and well kept! That was a big one for us! Just a quick 4 min or less drive to cannon falls and you have everything you could really need in a small town. Grocery’s, coffee, multiple restaurants an amazing bakery. This is our favorite place to camp in the summer and it’s only a short drive to the metro so extended stays on weekdays work out perfect!
