Adam, the manager, was always accommodating, kind, gracious and extremely helpful. We had to extend our stay a many times and every time we spoke with Adam, We never felt like we were bothering him. We were ready to leave, and there was a snowstorm. We did not have a shovel and we were stuck. Ryan, was so helpful, He plowed us out and helped us clean off our camper. Ryan is very kind and helpful. My husband and I, highly recommend Spacious Skies.

I’ve absolutely Loved my spacious seasonal campsite these past several years. I grew up RVing with my parents, so I’ve camped at countless locations throughout the northeast. This campground (by far) is the most pristine, clean, and serene. It’s heavily forested and full of friendly wildlife.

Live Music in the Amphitheater is all~ways a fabulous time for all ages & I look forward to frequenting this venue for many years to come!

This was a phenomenal trip. The sites were spacious the bathrooms were clean and the water was hot. They had weekend activities for the kids, pool was clean and sitting by the lake with friends and family was exactly what was needed. They had kayaks and paddle boards. I can't say enough about how wonderful this trip was. The staff were extremely friendly too. We will definitely be back.

Campsite was nice, spacious, gravel area. Nice pool a bit small and store was well stocked next updated. Can not swim at pond beach. Campground need some maintenance some areas of campground are very run down. Doesn't seem anyone monitored campers noise or behavior after quiet hours, some were extremely loud until 2am which is way after quiet time. Not alot to do in the local area.

The campsites are nice and very large. We loved the saltwater pool and well stocked camp store. The pond is great for kayaking or catching frogs, but not swimmable. Don't forget to bring a net for your little ones! The only downside was a large, very loud group that came in and took over the campground and ignored the quiet time hours. We did not call and complain that night because management was... The campsites are nice and very large. We loved the saltwater pool and well stocked camp store. The pond is great for kayaking or catching frogs, but not swimmable. Don't forget to bring a net for your little ones! The only downside was a large, very loud group that came in and took over the campground and ignored the quiet time hours. We did not call and complain that night because management was very clearly aware and made multiple visits to their sites. I just wish the quiet time hours had been enforced because it was made for a very long night. We did speak to the office the next morning and we're assured that the GM was aware. We are definitely planning on coming back despite our experience. We also plan on visiting some of their other locations.
