We have a group of friends that come here every year. The owners are very helpful, friendly, and relaxed. They go above and beyond to make sure that each campsite has a great experience. The campsites are huge, overall flat, and offer shade and a pavilion with electrical outlets and new picnic tables(shown in pics). As far as the campground goes, we had no major issues.

They go above and beyond to make sure that each campsite has a great experience. The campsites are huge, overall flat, and offer shade and a pavilion with electrical outlets and new picnic tables(shown in pics). As far as the campground goes, we had no major issues. The bathroom generally runs out of paper towel into the evening, but I think that's because people are in there like it is a showering station using the paper towel as wash cloths... Which was frustrating because they could just use some quarters to take an actual shower instead of using an entire roll of paper towels!! Also, we tend to bring our own toilet paper because sometimes they don't fill it in time and it runs out, so it is helpful to have some on hand. Therefore, I recommend bringing both paper towels and toilet paper for your group (and quarters for showers... I believe $.25 gets you 3 minutes of water usage). The bathroom situation was my only complaint in the campground and that's not really the fault of the owners, moreso rude campers. We did a tubing trip, which was okay. The river was low and the trip ended up being more of an obstacle course as we tried to climb over many broken trees in the river. We had a similar experience last year, so I'm not sure if our group will end up tubing down the river again. The workers were helpful and brought our tubes back to our site for us, which was awesome so we didn't have to carry them all the way back. Last year I stayed in the cabin and that was a good experience as well. It was clean and had the essentials. There was an out house behind it but we walked to the regular bathroom since it wasn't too far. Overall, I would say it is the owners that really make this a great place to camp. They're basically available all the time and are always very accommodating. Our group ended up wanting to switch our tubing time and they were great about it. I do recommend bringing your own tube just in case they have a lot of tubers that day, to ensure you have one. I look forward to coming back. :) PS... Don't forget mosquito spray because you will be eaten alive if you do!

Great place for our family reunion!! We parked our campers in a big circle so we had one big common area. Loved it!!

We have gone camping at white birch several times over the last 4 years and it’s been a great experience everytime. There are times on the river that you have to get out of your tube or kayak to maneuver around fallen trees, but people are being dramatic in their reviews about how bad it is. My 6 and 8 year old did it just fine. Owners are very kind and accommodating. Nice quiet place. Bathrooms a...

It’s really quiet and beautiful over there.

We loved staying here. My child really enjoyed the playground and we had a blast renting canoes. Owners were so nice to us and our child. We will definitely be back!!!!
