Great camping site! the owner George is extremely helpful and friendly. This was our first time here first time camping actually! the hook ups were wonderful. We were right next to the very clean facilities for bathing and toilet. The accompanying neighbors were lovely. I couldn’t recommend it more highly
Tina Hawley
Wonderful family owned park near the hamlet of Indian Lake. This has to be the quietest, most peaceful park we’ve ever been to. The sites are well spaced, ours was level gravel. This is a perfect place to get away and relax and a nice base camp for hiking or kayaking in the area.

This is in response to Jason’s review…… I just have to completely disagree with your opinion. Apparently, Thornbush was not what you were looking for, but please be honest…… it is not a “trailer park”!!!!! We all have campers that are all less than 10 years old. No one has porches or decks built onto their campers or sheds. And since there is none of those things, there are no dilapidated properties! Thornbush only has 46 sites and we are not cramped at all…. not like other campgrounds. If you think we are cramped, check out Tall Pines near Sydney NY! Yes there is not a pool, a playground or even an arcade room. But that is the beauty of this park!!! It is clean, quiet and peaceful!!!!! That is what drew us to this campground for the last 7 years. And we drive a long way to be at this gorgeous place! Really sorry you didn’t give it an honest try….. actually your loss!!!!!

Absolutely one of the nicest campgrounds we've ever been to! Great location with it being near Indian Lake and not too far from Blue Mountain and Long Lake, which are great little towns to visit. The sites have full hookups, and the owners take care to make sure you have what you need. Pet friendly too!
Kathy Johnson
Great little campground. So peaceful. Owners and caretakers are so friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Nice owner gives two stars instead of one, but place is not meant for big rigs. Tried a couple of sites and could not get level. Had to put rear tires on risers. WiFi stopped working for a couple of days when it started raining but now seems good. No Amenities, no local TV for rainy days, with bathroom closed and no laundry to be found. Sites way to close together in our area. If seasonal guest had been in next door we would have not been able to set out without hearing everything next door. This is a great location for hiking and kayaking, but sorry to say, just not set up for larger RVs.

Great location, shaded sites, owners on premises. Might be the best private park in the state!
Colette Kliss
The owners were great and helpful. Great wifi, beautiful location and pet friendly. It was true camping with fire pit and gorgeous scenery. Would be boring for kids as it had no rec room or pool but lakes everywhere around the area so if you planned you could find swimming. New sites still need a little work but the family is working hard to make things great. Wish them much success!

Beautiful campground, super nice people! It IS cash or check so be prepared. We had to leave early in the morning when we went home, so we had George estimate what our electric may be and left him enough cash to cover it since he wouldn't be opening the office until 8A. Each site is wooded with enough space and gorgeous. All sites are pull-throughs which makes it so much easier! Bathrooms are really nice. The campground is close to town but you can't hear any car traffic at night.
