If you haven't grown up, lived and just about died at this campsite, don't bother, there's no acceptance of outsiders. If you're allowed in, you may be the next sacrifice.

Beautiful location right on lake Champlain! Mostly seasonal campers, but everyone was very friendly and even invited us into their homes and to a campfire on the beach. Only complaint; no towels or hand dryers in the bathrooms! Wear pants that you can dry your hands on!

Great campground!!! Well maintained and clean. Shower house very nice with great water pressure. Loved the beach and beautiful sunset. You’re close to town where you will find a fun atmosphere and great food. The staff are very accommodating and eager to help. 5 Stars ⭐️ for sure.

The tent locations are cramped; however given the location on the lake and the surrounding access to the Iles', simply beautiful. Might want to bring your own firewood or the attitude to forage, expensive but clean.
