Perfect weekend Getaway

We could not have asked for a better experience at Back40! What a beautifully maintained, family oriented campground. Even on a busy Father’s Day weekend, it was still quiet with plenty of space between us and our neighbors. All seasonal. All the seasonal campers we encountered were so kind and helpful. The owners are fantastic! Plenty of activities right on property including fishing with awesomely stocked ponds, a great playground, huge open field for baseball, soccer or anything activity you can dream up and a lodge with activities including pool, foosball and crafts. For Fathers Day weekend they even set up a huge slip n slide down a hill with foam everywhere!! It was a BLAST! Our favorite thing was the layout of this campground. Each site has site PLENTY of space between you and your neighbor and backs up to beautiful woods. Picnic table and fire ring included along with a concrete patio. Cannot say enough good things about this campground, highly recommended!! We will be back!

What a nice campground

This is a great campground. The sites are large. Most have water and electricity. Nice admenities like a clubhouse with pool tables, clean flush toilets and shower areas, a nice small lake for swimming. It is off the road and well marked on the road but my GPS had the address about 1/4 mile away from the entrance. The hosts are very friendly and extremely helpful.
