We had a wonderful camping experience here. 1. The host was excellent and very welcoming. 2. Our lake-view campsite was beautiful and made the stay even more special. 3. While there’s no power hookup, it was refreshing to disconnect from electronics. 4. The site has tall trees that provide great shade, making it very comfortable. 5. Perfect spot for fishing and kayaking. 6. There’s a small camp s... We had a wonderful camping experience here. 1. The host was excellent and very welcoming. 2.

There’s a small camp store where you can get essentials like fire logs and other supplies. 7. They also offer boat rentals and even cabins if you prefer more comfort. 8. The only minor downside is that it’s located near a rail track, so you may hear trains at night. Personally, I didn’t find it to be much of an issue. 9. The best thing was the outdoor shower. Overall, it’s a peaceful and scenic spot—definitely worth visiting!

This quiet little campground, was surely one of my favorites. The outdoor shower was so neat! The veggies in their garden, that they leave out for campers, were so good! The owners are very kind and accommodating. The campground is clean and well maintained. The firewood was well worth it for the price.

Although my son disliked there wasn't a playground, there are many parks and pools nearby! We very much enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this place for a peaceful getaway with the prettiest sunsets.

This is a nice little camp ground. They obviously had some heavy rain the days before our arrival and the roads were all regraded and site was dry, well kept. Good water pressure, power feed was clean/constant, and staff were really nice. Kayaking into Spring Lake is super easy. It’s super quiet and watching all the birds is amazing. Stopped at the office to get firewood on the way to dinner... This is a nice little camp ground.

Stopped at the office to get firewood on the way to dinner. They delivered a double batch while we were gone and left kindling and a fire starter. All for $10. Would stay here again without thinking twice. Thank you!

Our family had so much fun! It's a pretty quiet campground which makes all the amazing nature sounds at night that much easier to hear. Staff was super friendly and helpful, very laid back. Check out the camp store fore FREE popsicle! We enjoyed renting a canoe and doing some fishing. We will definitely be staying again!

Dave and I had a wonder experience we were booked for 3 nights and we decided to stay another night. The owners were so warm and welcoming. The site was located on well groomed beautiful & scenic, double lot. We plan to make this a yearly regular.
