We had such a great time we stayed an extra day! The campsites are clean and well kept, as are the bathrooms. We enjoyed the beach, amphitheater, picnic areas, fishing, kayaking, other campers’ and the staff were wonderful. There was a rowdy crowd a few nights but the staff were on top of it. The surrounding town is quaint and charming-it’s easily accessible from the Northway and there are several smaller lakes surrounding like Eagle Lake for an easy day of Kayaking. There is also a local boat wash. The only real trouble we had is that we planned for a shaded site and we’re right out in a field in the sun. There are several sites here that do not offer a lot of cover-so if that’s what you’re looking for call and see which sites have cover before you book!
We also have 3 kids aged 6-16 and they had a BLAST.
We didn't camp here so we can't comment on that part. We just came to explore the old amphitheater. It was fun to explore it and imagine what it must have been like in its glory. It's sad to see it in such disrepair now. We're thankful for being able to go in and see it and for the information signs.
The lake is beautiful as well as view. The whole place appears to be very enjoyable.
We really enjoyed this camp ground. At first I was a bit worried with the openness that I would not like it but we stayed on a good note which had lots of privacy. The entire campground is really clean and nice to walk through. We did not even put on bug spray because they where non-existent. The beach here is a bit small for a lake so big but overall it's a great campground. You can purchase wood right outside the gates for 5 dollars a bundle. There is also a cool old ampitheater that you can explore. Def would recommend and I will be going back
I came here for a mini-vacation to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday in early September. We stayed here for 2 nights at site #60 and we had an absolutely amazing experience. The staff were some of the most polite I've met, the landscape is stunning, and the sites were very well maintained. The town this campground is set in is one of the most beautiful examples of quaint small town America I've seen.
It's one of those places where everyone knows each other's name and everyone is super friendly. I loved going in to the small "main street" area and going to all the small businesses along the street. This campground is far from any large population center, but there are several stores such as Dollar General about 10 minutes down the road which has everything you would need for camping inside it. The closest walmart is also about a 40 minute drive if you absolutely need it.
I absolutely do not recommend this campground for children, I see many complaints on other reviews saying "my kids didn't enjoy it here" and "there wasn't anything fun to do here." There are very few activities available at this campground, so you have to be the type of person who enjoys making their own adventure and prefers to go off the beaten path to enjoy your stay here.
All-in-all this is the most beautiful and quiet campground I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. It is a absolute hidden gem. For every camper who wants to do some REAL camping with a tent and despises those "glampers" and their cushy RV's I highly recommend sites #60 and #55. Thank you!
