Our campsite was next to the river, we enjoyed the sound of it drowning out vehicle noise from nearby roads. Most campsites are occupied all year round, not much coverage or shade, there is a pool and playground located here.

River

Mellow family friendly campground with just enough for the kids to do - playground, bounce pad, tuning, pool. The petting zoo is a bit disappointing but otherwise it is a fantastic place!

Quiet Weekend Getaway

We didn’t camp at this campground but we visited for the lazy river tubing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We arrived just before the last lazy river trip started, the staff was clear that we would only get one trip down the river and we were fine with that. The tubes were in great shape, river was a little high but clear of fallen limbs ( for the most part) the woman who drove the bus to pick us up was amazingly friendly, you could tell she loved her job and it made you feel happy to be around her! Everyone had a blast, we will definitely go back! 

Great staff

Fun tubing! Campers are able to sit in the river and “help” tubers along :) 

Great staff!

The service from the workers is absolutely great and the campground features a nice lazy river tube ride that you have to experience! The store has Al the essentials and there’s also a nice pool to lounge in.
