We went camping last weekend and it was one of the best times my kids and I have had in a long time! We loved wet and wild weekend and the pool and my kids loved the giant water slide! It was a complete blast to spend time with our family in such a family oriented place! We can’t wait to go back year after year!
Camped for 3 nights in a lakefront RV over Memorial Day weekend. Had a very enjoyable experience. The RV was clean and spacious. The queen bed was very comfortable and the bunks were great for the kids. We had spot #89 and were very happy with it. Tall trees lining the lake gave some shade and the fire ring was positioned nicely to sit by the fire and look out over the lake. The RV had an awning to cover the picnic table, which sat on a good sized platform deck. The campsites are close together but we had no issues with that and we brought 2 dogs with us. Lots of dogs throughout the campground, but all well-behaved and leashed. We were able to park immediately across the road from our RV, which was convenient. Didn't see any campers swimming in the lake, but there were a lot of canoes and kayaks out. The campground offers a good amount of activities. The inflatable water slides were a blast, the arcade was in good condition, the store had a great selection of items, the pedal carts were fun (but a bit challenging to operate for young kids), the playground was very nice, the pool was cold but in good shape and in a pretty location near the woods overlooking the lake. The kids were able to catch tadpoles, frogs, crayfish and snapping turtles in the creek leading out to the lake. There was a live band at the pavilion on Saturday night which was very enjoyable to listen to from our site. All areas of the campground were clean. Staff was polite and helpful and the after-hours check-in process was seamless. We blew a fuse in our RV while running the microwave and the staff came immediately to get us back in working order. They also sent staff to our site to help put our fishing poles together. The RV had sufficient dining utensils, cooking utensils, plates, bowls and glasses, but lacked good pots and pans for cooking. There were also full day itineraries of activities that we didn't get to. Those included craft time, candy BINGO, golf cart, bike parades, etc. The campground is in a very remote area that feels like a quiet getaway, even though the campground was pretty full for the holiday weekend. The RV had cable TV and 2G WiFi. Overall, very happy with our experience.
The staff are very accommodating and friendly. The RVs are very worn and the photos aren't up to date, however they were very nice and allowed us to switch to a lakeside cottage. The cottages are new, spacious and clean. The pool is very clean as is the camp store. The roads need some repair. There is not a lot of space/privacy between sites, many permanent year round camps.
This campground has a lot of potential, but needs a lot of updating/maintenance. A lot of the rv sites are overgrown and uneven. We couldn’t even put our jackstand down enough to make our camper level. There are a lot of pot holes in some of the roads and a lot of big tire ruts in many of the sites. The bathrooms could use deep cleaning and several of the shower handles didn’t work properly. There are only 3 washing machines and something is wrong with the dryers. It took an hour to dry our clothes and one dryer didn’t even dry our things all the way after an hour and 20 minutes. Most of the buildings could use a new coat of paint.
My kids had a lot of fun fishing, but the pond needs some maintenance. Just lots of moss in the water along the shore. There was lots of smashed goose poop in our site and along the pond- which I know is hard to manage.
There is a fun arcade for the kids and a giant water slide, which is free to use. My kids loved using the swimming pool, it was nice and big and my kids said it was well maintained. The employees were super nice and helpful, I just feel like the company that owns the campground needs to put some money into fixing things.
If you like loud music and the noise of golf carts all hours of the night this is the place for you. Full hookup sites are small nearly impossible to get out. Had to wait for other campers to leave. No cell service so come prepared. Campers were friendly. Staff was nice. But there are quite hours for a reason these need to be enforced. Not close to Cooperstown so if this is your reason for looking. Look elsewhere.
