Very nice campground! Has a very nice swimming pool with a nice playground for the kids. Random events are always happening at the campground, some events have bands which are always rocking! Cabins are available to rent, very simple and homey cabins. Definitely a nice place to get away for the weekend and meet some nice campers

Ideally located on the shores of Lake Champlain, in a nice wooded area, thus providing easy access to the lake for boaters willing to install their own quays although there's a free boat ramp not too far from campground. It is mostly a seasonal trailer park place with full hookup, there are some cabins and spots for tents and the occasional visitor. Reservations recommended.
