Way over-priced

Campgrounds looks very nice. Two beautiful lakes, nice wooded lots available but $40 for a primitive tent campsite is a bit much. I did not stay.

Back Again

We love the owners of this place so it’s our go to when we have softball in the area. Easy relaxed setting, beautiful lake and wide open area across our site. Our tournament got changed and we had to leave early but will be back again. The kids said the lake was getting a little more fishy and less swim friendly but I wasn’t in it this time to verify.

Love this place! Can’t wait to go back!

The first time we stayed here we were coming in late... and the owner said Are you Beth... as she watered the flowers. Yes, wow that felt welcoming... then she helped us back in and our neighbors brought us drinks on a tray. Where are we? This is amazing! Welcoming at its core!
Nice sites, a great little lake to swim another area to fish. They had great fireworks and simple outdoor fun. We’ve been back about 4-5 times and will be back in a week for our longest trip ever - 11 days. We have teenage kids and dogs... we all love it!
