Beaver Meadow Family Campground

Anglers and families flock to this seasonal campground for its stocked pond and heated swimming pool. Beaver Meadow Family Campground operates from May through Columbus Day on hilly terrain that creates varied elevation across the property. The campground accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections.

The property centers around a small pond that reviewers consistently mention for active fishing, though some note it's more accurately described as a pond than the advertised lake. Sites with pond views command premium positioning. The campground maintains both seasonal and short-term sites, with full-hookup areas positioned close together according to multiple visitors. A well-stocked camp store provides essentials, though golf cart rentals run higher than typical rates.

Unpaved roads throughout the property create challenges for bicycling but add to the rustic camping feel. Jaime D. notes "Restrooms and showers are kept clean." The pool operates with specific adult supervision requirements that some families find restrictive. Nature trails exist on the property, though recent visitors report maintenance issues with overgrowth.

The campground works best for RV campers seeking hookup convenience and families prioritizing swimming and fishing access. For additional camping choices in the region, see campgrounds near Java Center.

Ridiculous pool rule

The campgrounds are nice. The staff, friendly. Brought our RV so I didn’t see the bathrooms. We had a site that was “lake view” which was funny because it’s a pond. It was stocked so fishing was fun. They have a nice heated pool. My only real issue is the ridiculous two adult pool rule if you are with kids. We spent all day at the rodeo. We came back ready to swim after being in the sun all day. Of course my toddler fell asleep so I stayed with him at the campsite and my husband took our other two kids to the pool. They were able to swim for 15 mins before the other people who were at the pool took off. So it was just my husband and kids left. The lady working in the office came out and told them they had to get out because“there has to be two adults and one has to stay on deck”. Like, what?!? Seriously? That’s the stupidest rule I’ve ever heard. So he gets my very disappointed kids out of the pool and they are just hanging out pool side hoping for basically a stranger to come swim so they can swim. They waited nearly an hour before they got defeated and came back to the camper. Stupid rule. I’ve never seen any campground ever have that rule. If you are that worried about a solo parent taking care of their kids, hire a life guard. Or make that pool rule known prior to booking. My kids had life jackets on and my husband is CPR certified. Literally will never come here again because of this rule. Lame lame LAME.

Not the worst but won't be returning

The positives to this campground are that the people running it are all very nice. The store has just about anything and everything you can need or want. Restrooms and showers are kept clean. Negatives are that most of the sites with full hook-ups are practically on top of each other. They advertise long walking trails but they are all overgrown and non-existent. Very disappointing.

Beautiful, Friendly, Quiet

We had a great experience here at Beaver Meadow. The terrain was hilly and fun to navigate, the store was well stocked, the fish in the pond were hungry and active. The golf cart rental was pretty steep compared to all other campgrounds.
