Site 39 was great! A little away from neighbors and some shade. We brought our little ones hear for 2 nights and they had a great time exploring around the site. Very close to Summit Avenue if you make a left from the entrance of the campgrounds, while you are leaving, as opposed to the maps directed you to turn right and take the long route.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds if I need a mixed outdoor-small town location. I bring two kids and two big dogs with me and so having a great campground at a lake is a must, but it is also convenient being within a charming small lake town where we can grab extra water and maybe an ice cream. The sites are clean, accessible, well-spaced, and beautiful. There are a mix of sites, with sun or shade, close to the road and bathrooms or not, and the camp host is awesome. You can purchase firewood there and it is cheaper and safer. Great experience, as always.

I have 2 complaints. First, the access road to the camp was extremely difficult to find because of some construction that was going on, probably associated with the adjacent ski area. There was only a small cardboard temporary sign attached to a street sign post to mark the way to the campground, and it was easily overlooked - which I did on my first attempt to find the campground. I had camped there before a few years ago and so knew about where the camp was, but I still had trouble finding it. The second issue was the restroom closest to me campsite - the men's restroom was closed for the repair the whole 2 days I was camping, so I had to walk to the next closest restroom which was not all that close. Other than that, my campsite was fine and I found the campground quiet and conducive to relaxation, which is why I was there.
