Pete’s Lake Campground

Our family group has been coming annually to Pete's Lake since 2000 or 2001\. We have tents, campers, canoe's and kayaks, bathing suits and bikes, grills, games and glow sticks. Our kids are now in their late twenties , and are bring their families and friends are always welcomed.

It's where we unwind, get off the grid, and sleep better than we ever have our whole lives...even napping on occasion.

We come for a whole week, we take up 3-4 campsites, and as we grow in size share in meal making ideas, and clean up .....

The park is dog friendly too!

But whether you want to hang out at camp and play cards, have campfire and play guitar.....or run/ride Bruno's Run and then go for a swim to cool off.....or spend hours on the clear, clear water paddling and watching nature Pete's Lake is incredible!
