Wonderful campground. We had a pull through 70 foot site with water and electric. They do let you dump your gray water on stones at the site but we didn’t feel comfortable doing that. There is a dump station on the way out. Our site had a wooden two person swing by the fire pit, grill, and table with four chairs.

Very nice to be able to have waffles on the day we were leaving. Staff in the office was so nice and helpful.

Every area we occupied was clean, need, and tidy, and the bathrooms were in superb condition. The campground is well maintained and offers seasonal favorites like pumpkin painting, tie-dye, fire, truck rides, and tractor hay rides that are always a hit. Thank you so much for going above and beyond this place, it is clamping at its finest, and we would highly rate it. Five star.

We had a great weekend at this campground. Very friendly, helpful staff and the campers were also very friendly. Grandkids had a great time, lots of activities for them all day long. Clean restrooms and bathrooms. Definitely visiting again next year. Great atmosphere all around, the friendliest campground I've visited.

Had such an awesome time at this campground. We stayed for a long weekend but had an amazing time. Certainly close to a lot of attractions but there were plenty of amenities at the campground. The staff also loved what they do and really took care of us and our family. The campground is well maintained, they do have a heated pool but it was a little cold however considering the time of year my kid... Had such an awesome time at this campground.

The campground is well maintained, they do have a heated pool but it was a little cold however considering the time of year my kids used it, late September, I wouldn't expect anything less. There are lots of games and activities for the kids, the campground was really quiet and very spacious. Lots of nice roads to bike around on, new mini golf course, pool is recently renovated. Had every time and looking forward to going back
