ScoutIt’s well maintained and the staff are friendly. It’s easy to get to and set up. The sites are a bit too close together. And not perfectly level.
TravelerWe stayed in one of the "premium" sites, right on the water F19. The view was incredible. The campground was quiet and the facilities clean. Perfect spot.
GuideThis place takes winding back smaller roads to get there, but is very quiet and beautiful! We fit with our 21 foot camper and truck. Large spots, river alongside campground. Sad to see people left a lot of trash. Free is free!
TravelerVery friendly and helpful personal beautiful spot
GuideAbout 30 minutes away from the Ark. Easy trip on I75, about 30 minutes. Some level sites, but most seem to have a slope. When we visited, two of four washing machines were out of order as well as two of six dryers out of order. Efficient staff.
ScoutVer clean and Beautiful campground. Stayed 2 nights in April. Lovely grass and beautiful lake. Will definitely stay here again when in the area.
ScoutMe and my boys come here once a year and it is the greatest day of the year every year. We love going on the pond and fishing even though my friends suck at it. The hosts are always very nice and accommodating to me. When I had to arrive at the campsite late because of work they said it was no problem. It truly is a great experience for any and everyone especially in the summer.
ScoutThe staff was amazing, little games available like badminton, and very clean!
