GuideWe found this park on The Dyrt. Cross country travelers needing an overnight hook up site late in the day. We've never been in this area before and called the phone number listed and someone actually answered 7pm....The answering host was extremely polite and very helpful. Beautiful little park with hookups and dump station... Nicely priced...Again the park host was an outstanding gentleman and gets my highest rating possible....
TravelerThe 2 good things about this campground was the full hook up & the large site size. However, my site & a few surrounding sites smelled like sewage from the moment I stepped out of my truck. I couldn't sit outside to enjoy the "fresh" air or open my windows. The picnic table was backed against utility boxes, & the fire pit was within a few feet of the camper behind me. Supposedly there are 3 dog beaches. I found 1 that was a tiny spot with a little bit of sand. I walked over a mile to the park's edge following signs for another dog beach. It didn't exist. Dog beaches are not marked on the map.
TravelerVehicle broke down in mr pleasant so we parked our RV here the quietest campground I’ve ever been to ever . I’ve been here about a week haven’t met any camp staff booked our site online very clean nice restrooms showers
GuideAwesome campground many sites waterfront or views. Long Lake campground on same access rd. Secluded yet 2 mi from Lake City. Very nice
TravelerVisiting relatives in St Louis. Church campground with almost level sites, grass. Friendly staff and helpful. Clean and well maintained. Water and electric, no full hookup, but have dump station.
TravelerFirst time staying here. It was quiet and peaceful. There was a larger group by the lake that had a 'really good time' into the night, but zero issues with all the laughter. There were handicapped picnic tables and nice fire rings, but someone in a scooter or wheelchair might have issues with the slopes/dirt. Vaulted facilities were clean but hand sanitizer was empty on both sites. Lake was nice, pretty shallow in the swimming area but the vaulted facility next to it was pretty smelly... even when walking past on the road.
ScoutEvidently we are too loud for all the other guests at 8:00 at night so the park rangers had to come up and quiet us down three times and we barely have the radio even up where we could hear it in our campsite they take care of the whine bags there that's for sure
ScoutIf you're looking for a family oriented campground, look no further. From the park to play in for the kids and the heated pool, to the large fields and trails, you'll find entertainment to fill your days. Visit the wishing tree or porcupine tree. Swing on your trail adventure. The owners are delightful.
