Great family location and for expanding children's knowledge 

Thumbs up 

We camped in a couple of cabins years ago and weren’t too fond of them. These were the older cabins in the back with the RVs. Very thin walled. The place had a sewer smell but I heard they were fixing it. 

Maybe ok for RVs

Nice clean campground. We were in off season with pool being closed etc...  thought prices were too high for not having any amenities. One bath house was very dirty. I told front desk and they said well it’s going to close soon for the winter. I still think they should keep it cleaned until it’s closed. We did like the nice rv sites though. 

Nice campground, bit overpriced 

I found the camping area to be tight but what a fun place to be. Being after Labor Day the water par was closed, but looked like fun.  Mini golf was booming. They had nice pavilion areas for gatherings. There was also a large swimming pool. Several of the sites were for seasonal but were very well kept. The camping cabins looked nice. As you came into the resort there was a well equipped store and a huge banquet center. They had two good sized ponds for fishing.  Amenities included cable and WiFi.  Not wilderness camping but fun for kids.
