TESTIMONIALS

Janelle
We camped here a few times this year and had a great time. The staff was very friendly and checked in on us when we stayed to make sure we were happy with our site and having a nice time. The sites are large and the view is beautiful.

I have never camped before. Let alone, seasonal camp. This place is amazing ! Becky and Tammy are wonderful and very helpful. They treat my 10 year old autistic grandson like their own. I retired from a very stressful job of 36 years, and have never relaxed like that after only one week here. The activities are so much fun for all ages. Yes it floods, but rarely and everyone helps each other no matter what ! I have gained a new family here at the campground and feeling sad that there are only 2 months left
