Meh

Cheap campground with a $125/wk rate. Right on very busy and noisy highway. Very tight spots close to other campers. Mostly mobile home park. Run down laundry room, small restaurant/bar open to public. Wi-Fi is terrible. Wouldn't recommend unless you're just in need of a cheap spot to park.

Very relaxing and affordable

Very nice clean cabins on the lake.  Awesome views of the sun rise and sunset on the lake from the deck or the bay window.  Very close to attractions and stores but far enough out to have some peace and quiet.  

We loves our week vacation here and will go again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do reviews say about Mill Dam Lake Resort?

Mill Dam Lake Resort offers a mixed experience depending on your camping needs. The lakefront cabins provide clean accommodations with stunning views of sunrises and sunsets over the water, with convenient deck or bay window viewing spots. The location balances proximity to attractions and stores while offering some peace and quiet. However, the regular camping area is situated close to a busy highway which creates noise issues. Campsites are tightly packed, and the property includes a mobile home section. Weekly rates are affordable at $125, making it budget-friendly for longer stays.

What amenities and facilities are available at Mill Dam Lake Resort?

Mill Dam Lake Resort offers several basic amenities including cabin accommodations with decks and bay windows overlooking the lake. The property features a laundry room, though it may not be in the best condition. There's a small restaurant and bar on-site that's open to the public.
