They should use the discovery camp to educate the children about the environment and what better then on river and in town but the country feel.
I'm not gonna lie there could be some things fixed. I know I noticed at least one light full of green water. It was mounted on the ceiling under the covered patio. Should have that fixed.
If you ever want to have a camp-o- ree for scouts…this is the place lol
If not, I suppose it would be super nice for your family reunion or work retreat as well.
This is a great place to hold a camp for a business meeting! It is hard to book so make sure you do it in advance. The cabins have screen halfway up, but for the most part nice and clean. The parks department is very helpful and getting you settled in.
The sites are a little small but they are nice. The bathrooms are all vault except for one which some don't mind. Would be great for those with boats but not for swimming. No swimming allowed here.
