Stayed one night while passing through. Nice pull through sites with an elevated concrete pad with nice picnic tables. As many have previously stated, no trees or shade yet... takes time. For several extra fees, looks like a small lake with inflatables and extras for the kids to play/swim. We were there in late August when kids must have been back in school because there were actually very few cam... Stayed one night while passing through. Nice pull through sites with an elevated concrete pad with nice picnic tables. As many have previously stated, no trees or shade yet... takes time. For several extra fees, looks like a small lake with inflatables and extras for the kids to play/swim. We were there in late August when kids must have been back in school because there were actually very few campers there and nobody at all in the lake/play area. They say half the success of a business is due to location,location, location. This place is located in an industrial area with navigation apps sending you to the lake, not the actual campground entrance. Nice place, poorly located.

Awesome campgound!!!!! My family had so much fun at the lake on the wibits every day of our stay. And the go-carts were such an extra bonus! Also, the deep water/go-cart pass was very reasonably priced to add on to your campground reservation. We stayed over the 4th of July and the fireworks show they put on was better than the town's 4th of july fireworks show. We will definitely be back! Our boy... Awesome campgound!!!!!

Was going to take my family here to swim and enjoy the beach until I found out that they don't allow metal detecting at the beach...an activity that my son and I both enjoy. Oh well there are friendlier beaches around.

We loved staying here. Jean, Kate & John were all very helpful & kind. The owner Ben is really awesome too. He's truly made a fun camping experience for people of all ages. Very nice campground & kept up well. If we ever find ourselves back in this area we will definitely stay here again. Sincerely, Vanessa
