We enjoyed our stay there. The staff were great, the store and library were useful and the location is awesome. Sure there was some construction on the highway and we had some “brown outs” but all the negatives were not in control of the camp. All the restrooms were clean. We liked it so much we’re thinking about a seasonal spot next year.

We had a beautiful one nite stay while passing thru in our van. Check in was easy with an efficient and friendly young woman. Our site had a water view and was great! Restrooms clean, showers hot. Nice little camp store in the office. Its a lovely place and next time we will stay a few days. The lake location is beautiful! Its peaceful, guests are well behaved, and an overall enjoyable campground.

Came for my brothers birthday. Staff is amazing, Peggie and Monica and her husband Todd were all so helpful and sweet! Clean, beautiful campsites. Clean bathrooms, quiet respectful neighbors. Adorable library stocked, laundry on site, Rented kayaks and took my son out on the lake. We will definitely come back next year! To those concerned about political views and flags posted, they are purely supporting America and do not impose any political views upon guests. We have had a lovely time and highly recommended :)

We love Northshore Campground. It’s clean, right on the water, and quiet times are observed. There are usually a lot of families/on weekends but a great little getaway if you want to relax. We always bring our RV so have not stayed in a cabin.

Great campground to get away for the weekend. It’s clean and nicely sit around the lake. The swimming is OK, however, a little muddy. There is a small town nearby that it looks like it’s building back from a previous fire. Nice surroundings.
