Dan, the owner, is friendly and professional and offered us a campsite to fit our needs based on weather and our camping equipment. Rush Lake Tent and Trailer is a beautiful, clean, and family-friendly vacation spot that I highly recommend!

Decent place. Camp site was a little soggy due to recent rain but manageable . Grounds were clean and quiet. The lake water was warm and the kids loved the water trampoline. It was nice to have boat access right on site. I would have like to have had better shower facilities and bathrooms and not have to pay for hot water. We had to walk a distance to the only restroom. Fire pits were small but wo... Decent place. Camp site was a little soggy due to recent rain but manageable . Grounds were clean and quiet.

I would have like to have had better shower facilities and bathrooms and not have to pay for hot water. We had to walk a distance to the only restroom. Fire pits were small but worked just fine. Lots of docks to fish from or dock your boat.
