Nice campground even if you aren't religious

Stayed here for 5 nights and I am actually surprised at how nice it is. Staff is super friendly and accomodating, lots of stuff to do if you have kids and most of it is free. Campground is clean and kept up and all sites have water and electrical. Not all have full hookups though so make sure you are booking full hookup if you need it. The lake nearby is clean and they have a swimming spot for kids and adults. Boats and kayaks are free to use if the lifeguard is on duty. There is also fishing rods to use for free. There are also coin washers and dryers to use. I only dock one star because the bathrooms and showers are HORRID. At least the men's bathrooms are, smells so strongly of urine and they do not clean it regularly. Mildew is also all over the ceiling and the benches in the showers. But that is my only issue with the place.

Perfect campsite for children!

This campsite is perfect for children! The workers are the nicest people I have encountered at a campsite. They have a lake / beach for swimming, kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes to use at the lake. They also have a massive slip ‘n slide, zip lining, and a rock climbing wall. The bath houses are huge and well taken care of. I highly recommend!
