Very family friendly

We stayed here 4 nights. They have a beach for swimming. Boats for renting but they were out of order for repairs when we were here. You can rent kayaks, bikes. They have mini golf but you have to pay 8 dollars for that. That’s why they didn’t get 5 stars.  I feel if your paying to stay you should get that as included, 
They have river rafting, a playground for little kids, and a mini horse for petting.
Lots of things for kids to do! 


Nice camp ground 

This was a nice campground next to a small town- nice quiet sites. Sites were kind of close together. Mostly seasonal spots here. The office he’d strange hours limiting the use of some of the amenities ( tubing, kayak and paddle boat rentals)  the party floats were not accessible as advertised on the website.  Nice showers in the back section it camp- restrooms were clean but limited on tp ( always brought my own). 
Seasonal residents were very friendly.  Nice pond/lake to swim in and large area to go for a walk. There weren’t many staff around if you had questions or issues and the grounds didn’t seem to be monitored. 
Overall nice camp and we would stay here again.
