My wife and I camped here Labor day weekend. She reserved a waterfront spot. Very nice and spacious sites. The people here, both employees/owners and seasonal campers were just awesome! Made us feel like family. Convenient short ride to Eagle River. We are already looking to book for next year! Thanks guys!!

12/10 experience all around. Fantastic customer service, endless amenities like kayaking, canoeing, pontoon boat rentals, boat launch, swimming pool, playground, pickle ball and basketball courts and more! We came here for 3 nights from Green Bay WI and stayed in the Birch Cabin. Overall, would highly recommend this well kept, safe and great location to anyone! The campground is set up for all ages to enjoy the beautiful outdoors!!

We love staying here! Wonderful campground, clean restrooms and amenities. Love the easy access to rent pontoon boats. The staff is great as well. We stayed multiple times and will be back! I didn’t get pics of the campground, but will share some of the wildlife we saw and water pics!

Finishing up our first summer here and we will be back next year! Awesome owners and staff! Quiet and fun, beautiful and friendly, my kind of paradise. Our first time navigating trailer life and there was always someone to answer questions and help us. We love it here and can't wait for next year!

Very nice campground! We loved our rustic site, which had water hookup and electricity with easy access. The sites are nestled in big, beautiful mature trees. The store is well-stocked and the young man working was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were able to buy our campfire wood and worms when we checked in. The campground is very well kept and clean. We enjoyed the pool area very much. We met other people who were "happy campers" and have been coming there for many years. The owners, staff, and family work hard to make this a beautiful campground, and it is!

One of the best campgrounds we have stayed at! Owners are very friendly and accommodating. Everything is very clean and well kept. Pool is nice and warm, they bleached half of it last year, and will finish this year. Great laundry and bathroom facility, easy lake access, really nice pontoon boat rentals. Very reasonably priced. Very highly recommended! We will definitely be back!

Very few road signs to let you know where you are going. Ended up on a dead end road with my camper and very little space to turn around. Dented the side of my car. The pool had green slime all on the bottom which explains why nobody was in the pool. The creep across from us kept talking to my 3 12 year Olds and kept looking in our windows. Then he would sit at his site and just stare over at us watching the kids. Made us very uncomfortable. The sites were nice.
