Small Venue, great ticket prices and perfect for close up viewing! One of my favorites!

The camp owners are rude!! And they discriminate. It's ok to let the monkey in the music area but nobody else can have their pet. When they come by to tell you to get your animal out, the woman was sooo rude and hateful. We used to camp quite often, renting several cabins and campsites... We will not be back. They are hateful about where we park as well.

Such a fun fun open air venue!! Very laid back, easy atmosphere. Always great entertainment, we love when there is a live band. We love the opportunity to dance (dance floor in front of stage) Food options: Mexican restaurant on premises or we enjoyed a barbecue from the camp store. Very reasonable drink prices, just a wonderful place to enjoy friends and live music. They had the sides down and outdoor heaters this particular night. So enjoyable throughout the seasons.

Great venue for the wedding we attended Oct 2021. Cabins comfortable and clean. Beautiful wedding chapel and dining hall. Prices competitive!! Parking convenient!

If you are booking the Forest Center for a wedding. Confirm that the camp isn't booking a concert. Otherwise you will have loud music, drunks pending on cabins, urinating around the cabins, etc. It is a lovely place for a wedding and the cabins are great for out of town guests.

Loved everything about it. We will go back here again! I wish they advertised more of their amenities so we could have planned to enjoy all they offer but that's the only bad thing I can say. So much to do, great layout, beautiful and well thought out cabins, concert we went to was great!

Awesome place everyone is very friendly. The foods good price is decent the store has every thing you need. Me and my siblings had a blast and I'm 14 my sister is 5 and the other is 6 and my brother is 12.So it's fun for any age. I definitely recommended camping here. The cabins are nice fully furnished and the beds have bedsheets on them. They clean everything after each visit.

This place was absolutely amazing. We had a great stay, and the cabins are very nice. You can find everything you need here, and have no reason to leave to go get supplies. There's even a restaurant here, and the main store sells food as well. They have karaoke, bands on the weekends. The pool was a blast, and the kids enjoyed it alot. There's also a bounce house, park, mini golf, etc. The only downside is how popular the place is because they stay very booked up. So I would suggest booking as early as possible or you may end up not being able to get a cabin at all. As far as the camping lots go, I'm sure you can always find one available unless it's a holiday or something. We most definitely will be back.
