Best kept secret

Great campground with great campground hosts.  Large sites some with water views.  Beach area.  Clean pit toilets and water.  Campground hosts had wood available when we were there.

Love Mack Lake

We loved this campground. We were worried it would be full as it is first come first serve and we stayed on labor day weekend. There were plenty of sites. We also were not sure what  to expect as it's an "OHV" campground and we weren't taking an OHV. It was very peaceful. Large sites which are spaced apart nicely for privacy. We were able to get a site right on the lake. The Beaver loop sites have a hand pump available for water. The warbler loop has a spout on what must be pump house next to the host's site. The vault toilets are very clean. The lake has private homes on the opposite side. But even on labor day weekend the lake was quiet and peaceful. I saw three jet skis over the entire long weekend. It's mostly an occasional pontoon cruising by. We will definitely go back to enjoy this place
