We just had a family trip to Wonder Woods staying in all four cabins. The cabins were extremely clean, well furnished, cozy, and comfortable.

We just had a family trip to Wonder Woods staying in all four cabins. The cabins were extremely clean, well furnished, cozy, and comfortable. They have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. The bathrooms were also clean and convenient. The restaurant/brewery next door was perfect to walk over for dinner (we ended up eating there both nights) and the lake access is right across the street. The shore access has a sandy bottom so wading in the water, lounging in a raft, and fishing were perfect for us. We didn't have little kids with us, but there was a huge game room that even the adult "kids" grabbed a football and played with. Overall, we had an excellent stay at Wonder Woods and would highly recommend it.

What a cozy little spot! My family and I spent an unforgettable weekend here. The wooden cabins are simply wonderful—so comfy inside, with peace and quiet and an incredible lake view outside. The hosts are very welcoming and always ready to help. We are absolutely delighted and will definitely be back! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from the city hustle.

Our family had an amazing week-long stay at Wonder Woods Campground! The grounds were beautifully maintained, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature.

We loved the convenient access to the lakes and nearby attractions — it’s a great location for both adventure and downtime. The campground had a great mix of amenities- we loved the game barn. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year. Highly recommend for families looking to unplug and unwind in a beautiful setting!

Wonder Woods is a hidden gem! The new cabins are beautiful and the grounds are spectacularly clean! The restrooms/shower are just as nice! The beds are very comfortable too.

The campground hosts Ken & Chris were very friendly & accommodating. Wonder Woods is clean & has lots of newer fixtures and common spaces. We really liked the game barn & bonus field in the back of the campground for walking our dog. The location is within walking distance of 2 restaurants/ breweries. It is also about 30 minutes from St. Joseph which we visited for a day trip. There is a lot to do in this area in general. It’s a smaller campground but had everything we needed. We also checked out the glamping cabins on the property which are brand new and very nice. We’ll be back!
