We have been a seasonal camper there for 12 years. My wife went to the women’s restroom this morning and she said it was filthy. 2 toilets are plugged. Maybe it’s time to find another place. It’s like the owners don’t care how run down this place is. This could be such a beautiful campground but someone has to come in and run it like any body else has to run their business! Frustrating

This campground has potential as it is right on the water, but the rope designating the “swim area” was taken down during our stay and then boats and jet skis were in where my child was trying to swim. The bathrooms have a sign on the door asking that everyone do their part to keep them clean, but I’m wonder when the campground is going to do their part??? There was so many dead bugs everywhere in there and once again, these could have been decent. As stated in other reviews, they have no problem nickel and diming you for everything but can’t even mow the “picnic area” or pick up the mass amount of pinecones? What a terrible shame, this could be a decent campground.

The management at this campsite is horrible. They will bother you at all times of the day for random things. They are not nice about it what so ever. Bathrooms are never clean, campsites are not the cleanest and way over priced. Would not recommend staying here. We tried having a relaxing weekend but got pretty much supervised and harassed our whole stay. If I could post zero stars I would.

This place nickels and dimes you any chance they can. Bathrooms are disgustingly. Memorial Day weekend and management waits til last minute to have things ready. Shame because this place has so much potential for better ownership.

This campground had a nice location for being closer to Wausau. Other than that I can’t give it to high of a rating. The bathrooms, by campsites, were not clean, there wasn’t a mirror in the bathroom, and for the showers you have to pull a chain to get water to come out. This makes it extremely difficult to just wash…The bathrooms up by the main office were a bit better but when I took a shower the water was very hot, you can’t control the water temp, but that bathroom did at least have a mirror. We camp in a pop-up so I rely on the bathrooms to get ready.

Nice place. I'm here in the winter and they are still open. So that's great!

Where to start... I've have more than one family member have a permanent site for over 20 years, so there's some history with this place. The permanent side people are great, but that's where the positives end. A few months ago one of the trees that my father had been complaining about for 4 years fell on his camper. It was not an act of God, it was an act of negligence. He now has a new camper. But was unable to buy the one he wanted, because after 20 years of renting the site, They wouldn't cut down a tree that he had asked them to, that was also dead. My recommendation if you're camping for the weekend. There are far better campsites in the area. They do have walking/riding trails as well. But those tend to be a total mess if the permanent site people don't take care of it. This place has a long way to go to get better.

Read reviews prior to booking. After staying at the campground, I can say that the negative reviews are completely wrong. My experience was great here. Nice nature hiking trail about a mile long on the campgrounds. We have a 38 foot camper and it fit perfectly with an additional car. We still had lots of room for 4 adults and 2 dogs. Used the paddle boat for 2 hours and was only charged for one hour. Very clean campground. Nice staff that’s accommodating. Would definitely come back!
