Checks most boxes

A ton to do here, very clean well kept grounds. Concrete pads. Sites seemed to be a decent size. Lots of activities that are included in the cost to stay here, which contributes to the $99 per night. Free paddle boats, canoes, pool, kids crafts, indoor pingpong, indoor bags, indoor air hockey table, and a lot more. General store, with a little cafe, overall a really nice campground resort. EDIT: Updated for last visit. ~$100 per night full hookup cost is very high regardless of amenities. I think that high cost is due to this being a large franchise of camp resorts.

Nice site, clean and plentiful amenities.

It was late in the season so we didn't do a lot of exploring the resort. But from what I could tell, the grounds were well maintained, staff was friendly, and there were plenty of activities and amenities to keep our kids busy for the weekend.

Very Nice

I booked a full hookup daily site but they accidentally put me on a seasonal site l. It was on the pond, very quiet and away from a lot of the activities...which was fine for me. The regular sites look nice as well. Lots to do...pool, mini-gold, volleyball, etc. Only a 30 minute drive to Davenport. The only down side of my site was a ton of goose poop...it was hard to walk the dogs with so much to tempt them.
