Very friendly people. There were some fireworks and shouting at night, but it calmed down at about 1030. The spots are pretty well maintained. There is a lot of area to walk around and explore. The lanes are a little narrow. If you have a larger camper it can be tricky to get situated. But if you need help, people are more than willing. Will be back in the future.
The grounds are amazing. We go every year for the Halloween activities, hay rides, cookie decorating, etc. it's all really fun. The best part is the sand bags. They have many options ranging in price but I suggest the motherload which is the biggest bag for $18 but you get a little bit of everything, and you get to shake it all out in the water table to discover the gems and fossils.
Its a nice area, friendly staff, hot showers available, gift shop, food options, ice cream etc. Golf carts you can rent. Only complaint was the pool was down on our visit and we couldn't find good access to fish without a boat. Would stay again.
This was our first campground stay outside of our home state of NJ. We arrived on a Monday evening and the office was already closed. We were able to quickly contact staff to get ourselves setup in our site. The site itself had a slight downslope toward the rear but easy enough for our coach to level. All utilities were located at the drivers side rear of the site which was perfect. The roads are in decent condition and it looks like they’re adding a few more rows of sites and the grounds seem pretty well kept. The lake is pretty and the whole place is surrounded by farmland otherwise.
The staff that I’ve had the chance to meet have been great and responded quickly to any of our questions or needs. Unfortunately, in the off-season, the store and office are closed but they are always around to fill propane if needed.
There are quite a few full timers here and everyone we had the pleasure of meeting was very friendly. We had no issues. Yes you will hear staff running equipment here and there to keep the campground running and you’ll hear the occasional quad, motorcycle or dirt bike but it’s nothing unreasonable unless you’re stuck up about those kinds of things. It’s been very quiet here at night as well.
I wish we could’ve stayed here the whole month but it gets cold fast around here and the wind never seems to let up. Don’t leave your awning out!
Can’t wait to come back when it’s warm!
This campground was a Yogi Bear site but since then it has become very run down. The bathrooms are original and definitely need to be cleaned and updated. I would recommend not using them . The pond is full of algae and the advertised boats and kayaks are no where to be seen. Upon check in there was no itinerary to include the guests but there were hay rides nightly golf cart runs poker golf and bags tournaments but if you were not a seasonal you didn’t know about it. The gift shop was poorly stocked and the staff was not friendly. The basketball court was broken as well as the kids jump pillow. The parks were worn down and broken. The ice machine had mold in it use at your own risk. The golf cart we rented was for four but the back seat tilted that you were at risk of falling off. Especially on the pot filled roads throughout the campground I recommend staying somewhere else and recommend the owners put a little pride in their campground and take care of the place or pretty soon you won’t have people coming back because the place is falling apart
