Friendly staff. Delivered firewood when requested. Grounds clean and well kept. Only knock was the condition of the golf course, but that's not what we were there for anyhow.

This is a very nice campground. It has a small pool, small golf course and lake access. Nice playground areas. Even a game room. The sights are average size, level, and easy in and out. We had a load of wood delivered and it was a decent amount for the price. Friendly staff. Easy booking etc. My only complaint is no cash (for a bag of ice) but that is becoming normal in campgrounds.

First time at this campsite. We had a bigger group of friends. We loved our sites and loved the grassy area by us where we could play bags. The people in the office were very friendly and helpful. We are coming back next year.,

Had a great weekend! Brought the 3 kids there last weekend and it was definitely fun, the pool is nice and deep, a good shallow end for the little ones, some community toys for the kids to enjoy at the pool. Nice office/store area! They have activities for the kids, from water balloons to slip and slides, very quiet and comfortable. The bathrooms are pretty nice also. Will definitely be back.
