GuideWe called last minute for a spot on Labor Day Weekend. We were coming in for my mom's passing. They juggled spots to get us in. After getting set up, they checked on us several times to see how we were doing with my mom's passing. Amazing, caring owners and staff. Thank you Marie.
RangerThis campground was a wonderful find! Scouting locations for our Campout event in 2027. Kim the office manager was very accommodating and gave us a tour of the entire property which is vast! Whether you’re planning an event or just looking for a great place to simply camp, this is an excellent choice. Only 21 rv sites and several tent, cabins and 5 or 6 rustic sites with plans for pull-thru expansion for next year. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Peaceful and quiet
TravelerGreat location, quiet, not busy, very relaxing.
GuideA bit buggy but nice otherwise. You have some evergreens, beech trees and some birch trees.
ScoutKudos to Blue/High Tax States. For $27 a night, wonderful, huge campsites, clean individual toilet/showers, clean gorgeous Great Lake beaches, even organized kid activities on weekends. The staff is constantly around taking care of things. Of course there are dog owners not picking up after their animals but we can't blame the park for perks.
GuideStayed here in our Class B. Had a nice site in loop 4. Only complaint really is other guests cranking some kind of contemporary R&B with very loud bass, like we should all like their music. 4 sites away, it was pretty loud. The hiking, the falls were great. Tons to do, spectacular views. The park is 17 miles long folks. Camping is north, the falls are south. You can hike all the way down. Its perhaps one of the most impressive displays of CCC work i have seen. Stone tables, picnic pavilions, walls, steps, just amazing work and maintained nicely. Check is easy, plenty of places for trash, fresh water. Showers were not bad, two per building per gender. Of course i picked one that backed up so i was in standing water. I reported it and 24 hours later it was the same. Oh well it was hot and felt great and i didn’t get hoof and mouth disease or anything. One thing - MAJOR league poison ivy , everywhere, surrounding every campsite. Beware.
LegendThis state park has 3 campground loops--we randomly selected the Twin Fawns loop. I was pleasantly surprised by the size and privacy of the sites. The men's and the women's restrooms were clean, but have only two shower stalls in each. There are no shortcuts to the bathroom, so you'll have to walk the loop to get there. The beach is about half-mile away down a hill (and back up later) through the woods, but I think most people just drive there. Star knocked off because no lake views from the campgrounds.
ScoutGreat
RangerLarge well maintained campground with many different types of sites. The staff is amazing and will help you find something - in person or by phone. Our site was tucked into the woods and felt very private. Lake for swimming, fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking. The bathrooms were dated but clean, with warm showers.
