This is the best campgrounds we've stayed at in our 5 yrs of camping! Very clean and well maintained. The new bathhouse is high end luxury The staff are friendly and efficient. We stayed twice this year and will definitely be back next year . The only downside is the wifi connection is not all that great. But there's so much to do there...who really needs wifi !!

Beautiful facility. Friendly staff. good food. BUT, owner does not seem to understand what it means to be a family friendly facility. We witnessed a grandmother with three children come to the pool, dressed to swim, be advised that it would cost them $10 per person to use the pool. They walked back to the campground rather dejectedly. Evidently $40 to swim was not in their family budget that weekend.

So far we are enjoying our stay. Our site is very nice with a grill and fire pit and table and chairs on a nice concrete pad. The office/store has a nice selection of things you might need or just want. The Kafe food is good and they will deliver it to your campsite. The two pools are nice and there is plenty of things for kids and adults to do. During the summer they several activities for everyone

So, it sucks to leave a review like this. The location was great, atmosphere was great. Bathrooms were clean. Almost everything was perfect. But... my brother-in-law and I both got chemical burns from the hot tub. My whole body and his lower half. Our trunks got bleached and so did my BODY HAIR. I have very dark body hair on my upper chest. But below that and my arm hair, is completely bleached. Both of our leg hairs were burnt off completely. They insisted it was an allergic reaction... After talking to the manager for half an hour he with an attitude, compensated us a night. I wasn't even looking for that. At one point the manager's exact words were: "Well I can buy you new trunks but I can't do anything over an allergic reaction." I was just concerned someone else could get hurt, but the lack of accountability and the refusal to apologize, really turned me off from ever recommending this place to anyone.

Very clean and well maintained campgrounds. Probably the nicest we have been to. Employees was super friendly and eager to serve. With the cafe and camp store on site you never have to leave the campground (even for adult beverages). It's all in one place. It is a very peaceful and quiet location.

Absolutely terrific! We stayed in the tent camping area with a group of friends and everyone had a great time. We swam, did paddle boats, fished, mini golf, made tie die t-shirts, shopped the camp store, and ate ice cream. All around a fantastic place to enjoy a weekend away. The amenities are top notch. Bathrooms were very clean, and staff was both friendly and helpful.

Awesome campground but could be amazing. The pedal carts, volleyball/shuffleboard area needs some TLC and the lake gazebo is long overdue for a power wash. The shower house on the newer side of the facility is the nicest I've ever seen. The pool and splash pad is also very nice. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Had a wonderful time with my family and furry friend, we enjoyed the swimming, fishing and campfires and relaxing under the beautiful night sky. All together a great time, prices were fair and the staff was nice. We loved how well kept the whole place was. We definitely plan on coming camping again, and would recommend family and friends. Was an amazing experience that my children and family will remember forever. This was in 2019, summer.

Amazing place to camp

This is a great place to camp. In and rv or a cabin but the tent camping is way to close together. No privacy at all.
