Great little family run campground. Quite, serine. No loud music🌛 after hours is a plus!! Pool is nice and clean🏊♂️🏊♀️ they take great care in the maintenance. No diving. Deep end is not 8 feet. Public bathrooms Inside store/ eatery🍔🍟🍦🍭. Gathering room for posts activities or for you to call for a time slot for parties and events. Play ground for the nuggets🥰 it's small but filled with lots of sand! Cornhole for the biggins. Again, on the activity list posts. 2 Ponds🌻 are cute & attracts nuggets to fish🐟 and look 👀for frogs🐸 turtles 😁 One large pond for swimming and activities. Clean, inviting, fun for all, and even a dock for lounging and a dock in the pond to jump off! Some extras, just call and ask🤗 for site information or visit the website. Many sites for seasonal or temporary visitors.

It's a very relaxing family oriented campground. Activities, music and food. Oh and the pool is great except that they close it so early in the evening and after Labor Day.

Camped for the whole month of June 2024 and loved everything about this place. Wonderful management and staff. Nice pool and pond.

We stayed in the King George’s cabin and it was perfect for any “glamper”! Very clean and comfortable. Nice pool and lake- lots of fun for kids. Staff was wonderful and very kind. Campground was a great central location to lots of hiking and sightseeing in the surrounding areas. We really enjoyed our stay!

We are in our 3rd year of seasonal camping and couldn't have been happier with our choice of campground. Everything from the owner to other campers at Markham Meadows make it a wonderful friendly environment. Our 4 children love the freedom, they fish and ride bikes all day. Awesome family friendly campground...it may not be as big as summer of the other campgrounds in the area but that's what makes it great, it reminds us of our childhood and camping with family.

Just spent a weekend here. We were really happy with the entire experience. The sites were in good shape and a good size. The staff was friendly and helpful. They had a bunch of activities centered around an early Halloween including trick-or-treating, a hay ride (no hay, probably good for allergies), pumpkin painting, and a band. Really well done. Seems like a lot of seasonal campers, but it certainly wasn't cliquey and everyone was friendly. We have stayed in a few other campgrounds pretty close by and had good experiences but this became our favorite.

Had a blast at my sister's camper. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are activities like bingo and bands. Food offerings are small but food is good. The site and grounds were clean and well spaced. Really enjoyed my weekend
