Needed a place to stay for a few months. Very helpful and still had activities in October. Some need to remember dogs need to be leashed even in the campsite. Many sites but you have enough space to call your own. Close to town but still can enjoy the woods!

We ❤️ it here, and we're seasonal, campers. It's quiet, and nestled on a nice, dirt, back road, located in Hopeville Pond. There's always plenty of activities for all ages. It's not a huge campground, but large enough. The staff works very hard to keep things great. Patty, the camp manager, is more than helpful, and very patient. She has always addressed our questions, and is one of the hardest, working, people I know. This campground, should be so happy, they have her. Jim, is the events coordinator, and is very dedicated in planning, fun, weekend events. You know, it's going to be a fun time, when all your campground neighbors, show up for an event, because, Jim has planned it. Everyone here, is very friendly, and making new friends, is easy. Neighbors are always willing to help out, and just take care of each other. The campground is making, new, better, changes, but like anything, change takes a bit of time, especially after the very, harsh winter. The staff is working 110% , ALL the time, to make everything updated, so this campground will stand out. I know, that my husband and I, recognize their hard work, every day. You know what's great about this place.,.we love that it's a great secret, 3.1 miles to our home, on this beautiful, little pond, that people are beginning to talk about. It truly is awesome, to be able it sit around your campfire at night, have great conversations with your friends, and hear all the incredible sounds of "night nature" , amplifying off the pond. Jump in my kyack, grab my camera, and watch the pair of Bald Eagles, osprey, herons, and many species of ducks. Fishing here is incredible! I'm not good at it, by my neighbors are!!! I love it here. Oh wait, did I already say that 😁

Jeannet and Kerry went above and beyond! 1st they made checking in and getting situated so easy and gave us a great introduction to the campground. They made events like a community bonfire, karaoke, a scavenger poker event, a picnic…. All in one weekend. My group was also able to play a game of basketball on the courts. There were kayaked canoes and paddles boats for our use! I have never been to a campground like this before. It was amazing! We showed up to have a 30th birthday camping weekend for one of our friends. By the time Sunday rolled around and it was time to check out no one wanted the weekend to end. These people and the people who stay on the campground are some of the kindest and most welcoming people I have ever met. I am proud and I can now call them all friends too! Myself and my friends will surely be back to see everyone again and make more memories!

We live it here. You would hate it. Lol. No but it's a great place. But I like no one by me which I have. Rent a different spot. Lol. Swimming, boating, fishing, they bring you picnic table and your own fire pit. Great place

I have been trying to contact someone for over a week, multiple calls a day and no one ever answers the phone. I have stayed here before in the past and dealt with Patty and Kerri who were always wonderful and made sure everyone was comfortable and was settled in good. A friend of mine told me not to stay here anymore because it is not the same and the person runing this place is not friendly and obviously isnt answering the phones. I didn't believe them until now. I found kerri on FB too try and schedule with her since she was always on top of everything but I was informed she no longer works here. So whoever is supposed to be answering the phones you just lost a customer who was looking to stay a month. Bring kerri back she gets things done right away. Kerri was the reason i always came back considering this place doesnt have much to offer anyway. Zero stars for this place.
