Family camping at it's best

We decided to stay a weekend here because my sister lives right down the road. We had no idea how great of a spot she had right nextdoor. We kind of did a last min trip between 3 family's we all got separate sites scattered along the river it was beautiful. We tubed down river, fished the pond, swam in the pool, did the hay ride, even attended the dance at night. Definitely be sure to grab a snack at the food hit they have. Very good food. Also great general store. Back at the campsite it still gives you that roughing it camping feel.

Great place!

Hidden Acres is a great family campground. Family-owned and it’s got a really friendly group of family and staff. Sites are nice and the restrooms/showers are the cleanest I’ve seen anywhere. Lots of fun at the beach, kayaking on the lake or just hanging at your site. Petting zoo, craft cabin, arcade, bingo and lots more! While you’re there, run down to the snack shop for yummy snacks, meals and ice cream sundaes! Definitely a must-camp if you’re in the area.
