A quiet and serene spot to relax. The campground and facilities were clean. There were many activities for children throughout the weekend. The private lake on the property is gorgeous; there are also larger lakes close by with public access.
Thank you for your hospitality. The campground features decent campsites and amenities. If you are seeking a peaceful out of the way camping experience this campground is that. Our group was a large family gathering with numerous energetic children and adults who enjoyed staying up late into the night sharing life experiences; we were loud at times but respectful moderating our behaviors as considerate people do. Nancy and Paul did not have to administer warnings and were generous with fixing campsite locations.
Husband and I have been looking for a small quiet campground. Took a Sunday afternoon to take a drive up north and found this place. When driving in it looked cute, plenty of empty sites, small pond/lake and a general store.
While going threw the campground we were met by whom I guessed is the owner on a golf cart. He pulled in front of our van and cut us off. Slurring and Sloppy drunk telling us that it's private property, we don't want you here, and we had to leave. Even though the sign out front clearly says "open to the public" and it's not like we were setting up camp. We were scouting and greatful we did. He was rude, obnoxious and drunk. If this is how you treat people looking for a place of relaxation, I would hate to see what it's like to actually stay there. Avoid this place!
Went to check out this campground. We were just walking around being friendly and waved at a few of the campers. We hadn’t even reached the store yet, and the owner Nancy popped out of the store that's "open to the public" and told us to leave. Great way to bring in new business! Look elsewhere if you're thinking about camping here. I think the other reviews speak for themselves, too. Yikes.
Nice quiet campground, very nice lake. We spent two seasons there, Paul and Nancy are good hosts. Store is stocked very well and is not as expensive as I thought it would be for a camp store. But with everything there are pro's and con's.
The Pro's
1. It's a very quiet campground.
2. You get a pretty decent load of wood for $13
3. Camp sites are bigger than most.
4. Nice walking trail that goes around the lake.
5. Nice clean restrooms with showers.
6. They do alot for the kids, crafts, bike parades, and such
The Con's
1. It's almost too quiet,
2. They are not motorcycle friendly, if you ride you'll have to park at the camp store and walk to your site, the reason I got was "motorcycles are to loud", there are trucks that are louder than my bike that come in every weekend. There is a lady rider who literally has to ride past her camp site to park at the store and walk back to her site. I watched an older couple pull in across from our site with a motorcycle on the back of his rig and he rode out and back from his camp site, I guess if you drive a 200K motor home towing a 50K jeep the rules are different.
3. They don't do much for the adults, be nice to see an organized corn hole, washer toss or euchre tournament.
4. Not a lot to do in the surrounding area, casino is about and hour away if you're into that.
5. No gas golf carts, again "their too loud" be prepared to pay extra for electric for your seasonal spot.
6. Can't bring your own canoe in you have to rent from them.
Again if your looking for a nice quiet campground this is your place, if you're a night owl and would like to stay up late and have fun around your camp fire please be aware that the owners will come out of nowhere and tell you to quiet down even if no one has complained, we never had this problem but know of those who did. Also had a guys weekend with my brother and 2 friends, they asked my neighbor to "let them know if there were any problems" that didn't sit well with me at all.
