Although pricey, this campground offers decent sized sites, even buddy sites. It is a great park which offers easy access to the Hartland area. Very friendly, and accommodating owners. A pleasure to have stayed here one night in our way home. Thanks.

I would suggest this campground is over priced for the price you pay. I have paid similar rates at other campgrounds that provide free WIFI, nice clean, working bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities, a well maintained kids play ground, maybe a heated pool and other amenities. They are lacking or nonexistent at this campground. No web page, just a facebook site with very little information. No... I would suggest this campground is over priced for the price you pay.

They are lacking or nonexistent at this campground. No web page, just a facebook site with very little information. No welcome sheet to tell you anything about the campground or where to find anything. No mention of any amenities when checking in. If you go for just a water and electricity site instead of the full hookup be aware there is a $30 fee to use the dump station on top your site fee. They seem to be more interested in making a buck rather than any customer service or experience. I would not recommend this campground to any of my friends.

Stopped here after a long day on the bike. The manager ( sorry, I missed your name) was super friendly and set me up quickly with a spot close to the comfort station. $25 for no services....$35 if you want electricity. She even provided some laundry detergent for me. Showers are free, and laundry is $2 each for wash and dry. There are a couple of restaurants ( A&W is closest) within walking distan...

People were friendly and the park was located conveniently near the highway. They also had full hookups. Great park next door.
