Words cannot describe

Amazing looking campground but the owners are complete ass clowns. Two years in a row they have fucked myself and family out of camping there. We have had reservations each year but somehow things always seem to happen. Last year they flooded and ended up playing fuck fuck games on if they were ever going to open or let us camp. Never posting info on the Facebook page or responding back to calls when we call about getting our pre paid money back for our reservations. They completely ignored us. Second trip aka this year corona virus year about a month ago they fucked us out of camping again. Gov shitmer had the state on lock down after we had already prepaid reservations for the campground. After numerous times contacting the campground they would not refund our money even though it was impossible to camp.

Cheap sites, lots of extras!

The campsites are purely for tent camping and are around 20'x40'. We went with a group and fit four tents on one site with a picnic table and fire pit for less than $10 each. There is a large bath house with showers, a pavilion/picnic area, where they sometimes have a DJ at night. And there's a really nice open area and playground for the kids. The front store /check-in desk has some supplies for while you're there, and they also offer canoe/tubing/kayak trips with transport, directly from the grounds. We had a great time and plan on going back again.
