Dirty

Took our waverunners out there for the day so much seaweed couldn’t launch them. Thought maybe spend the day at the beach but so much goose poop couldn’t get to water without stepping in piles. Once by the water still so much poop. Totally disgusting!!!! Paid 27$ to leave within a half hour and no refund. I advise you to not use this launch so disgusting with so much seaweed.

Lovely & Quiet

We stayed here for one night and were absolutely thrilled at how peaceful and quiet the space was. You’re right off the water and the get an amazing view of the sunset. The toilets were nice and clean and there’s a nearby walking path through the woods that was covered in wildflowers!

Trouble mapping

This was a super cute area though we did experience difficulties again with the waypoint as seen in the videos. The drive out was beautiful amongst the tall trees

Great place for the family

Great family place, so much to do for everyone. Especially if you love the water. The campsite is butted up to the lake, which makes it great for sunsets and sunrises. There is hardly any shade at the campsite. The RV/camper sites have full or partial hook-ups. All back in. The campsite is clean and very friendly. You can rent kayaks, and paddle boards there. There are tent sites and have public bathrooms and showers. Make sure you have cash or check when you check in unless you made a reservation on the website. Definitely will be back, gorgeous place to stop and stay for awhile.

Right on the Water!

The resort is right on Long Lake, there is an area to swim, and it’s a good spot for waterskiing. There are picnic pavilions and a boat launch, and lots of camping sites. The entry road is narrow, it is not paved, and meanders through private property, so slow down!
