The minute I set foot on this camp ground, I felt peaceful; the cottage I stayed in is practical and spacious. It blended in beautifully with the soothing surroundings of nature's sounds: wildlife flourishing in a lake surrounded by huge trees.

We had such a wonderful long weekend at Keen Lake Camping! Our family stayed in one of the glamping tents and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming — it truly feels like a family-run place. The staff were so helpful and kind, always ready to support us and even gave us great recommendations for local trails and farmers markets. Our glamping tent had a beautiful view of the lak... We had such a wonderful long weekend at Keen Lake Camping! Our family stayed in one of the glamping tents and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming — it truly feels like a family-run place. The staff were so helpful and kind, always ready to support us and even gave us great recommendations for local trails and farmers markets. Our glamping tent had a beautiful view of the lake, and we had what felt like our own little private nook. We grilled, relaxed, and spent quality time together as a family. It was the perfect opportunity to reconnect, slow down, and enjoy nature. Everything felt peaceful, safe, and easy with a little one and a dog in tow. We rented kayaks and spent time together on the water. It is a beautiful area, lots of nature and the sight hosts lots of great events and activities for young ones. The only downside is that the glamping area is a bit apart from the main office. In a nice way it makes it more private, and we loved it, but it did mean driving 2 minutes when we needed supplies or such. Small inconvenience and not at all something that will stop us from coming back. We would highly recommend Keen Lake Camping to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly getaway — and we can’t wait to come back!

Been coming here for around 26 years and I have to say it's my happy place. Friendly staff and guests. The Keen family are wonderful caring owners. Always going out of their way for friends and guests. We are hoping to become seasonal guests in the near future.

Came for a weekend with my wife and we enjoyed it. Staff is friendly and we are looking forward to bringing the kids in the future. Plenty to do from fishing, a beach, dog beach, a small store with all the supplies you’d need. There’s bathrooms and showers too. Some sites are offer electric and some don’t. Lots of options.

Our recent trip was nothing short of amazing year 14 for us. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by friendly familiar faces, stunning lake views, peaceful nature sounds, and a sense of calm you just can’t find in the city. The grounds are as always clean, well-maintained, and spacious enough for all our gear, with plenty of room to relax. We spent our days relaxing lake or pool side...

We spent our days relaxing lake or pool side and our nights surrounded by fire stargazing and making our wonderful family memories. The fresh air, the crackling campfire, and the chance to unplug made this experience truly refreshing. What made it even better was the great company and the little moments—laughing around the fire, early morning coffee with a view, and that satisfying tiredness after a full day outside. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to recharge and reconnect with nature. We’re already talking about our next trip!
