The hosts are the best! We took their advice and had dinner at the Swiss Lakewood. The patio was beautiful and the food was spectacular. The hosts are very clear about the bears and how to keep them away (hint: forget about s'mores after dark) but they also don't get too panicked when the bears inevitably show up. Keeps everyone on an even keel. This was our 3rd time at William Kent and we will be back again next year!

Always happy to pull in and see the hosts, who without fail welcome us with smiles and open arms. This year there were more bears than usual (as in Boo who really runs the camp!). I really appreciated having soap in the bathroom this year, forgot to pack it this year. Thank you! Looking forward to next year. Shhhh… our hidden gem!
