The staff are very nice at this campground. There is a nice large pond where you can catch fish. There is not much to do in the small towns around this campground and it takes quite a while to get to the campground off of the road. you are traveling on.We will probably not come back to this campground.

One staff lady is rude at front desk
All you hear Monday thru Friday is chain saws and leaf blowers. It is annoying at best. Pumping station has constant issues. Roads are horrible and dangerous for kids. No real activities unless you are a senior. Skunks and deer are all over. Twin brothers (owners) are great! They just have no clue how their business is being hurt by someone who has no skill regarding how to treat people. Most of maintenance staff is nasty to patrons and they don't care. If you like golf cart parades and corn hole you will love it. Seasonal people think they own it and have no problem yelling at campers. Prices are too high for a fun stay. Watch out for trees and limbs falling on your camper and cars. And water from broken pipes flooding your site. Not a good pick.

Been camping here for several years. Great place, friendly people. Very sorry to hear that some weekender campers ruined it for some people leaving the 1 star review. But, I can assure you that is the exception, and not the rule.

This place is usually quiet, and they do have people going around making sure the quiet time is enforced. I don't know why that wasn't the case during their visit. I have seen loud people forced to leave before.

It's a very family oriented campground, with lots of well thought out activities.

Update 2025: The weekend activities have definitely fallen off the last few years after a particular camper that used to host everything left, and the replacements have not maintained that level of fun or cohesiveness.

This will be our last year as seasonals there. It's still a nice campground, but the activities have gotten stale, and the few new activities are not professionally done.

While we may be done camping completely, the campground was an influence in that decision, but not the entire reason. Its still a nice place overall.

Water’s Edge is a bit of a mixed bag. First I have to say that the sites are a tad on the small side, but the setup is very very good. Power and water are in a great place, a the sites are super level. I really didn’t have an issue with site size because I have a smaller camper. The nightly spots are close to the store and pool.

It does seem like a campground that is leaning hard into seasonals (there are very few sites with just simple electric/water hookups). Apparently, they don’t even allow tent campers anymore.

One issue is that the rental cabins are close to the normal rental spots and I feel like the people who rent cabins are a bit more disruptive. One of the cabins was blasting music the entire weekend (so not only did we not get a choice in the music selection, we had to listen to ads too).

It would be nice if campgrounds would adjust their policies on electric car charging. Charging a car at 8A over a weekend is far less than a normal camper with an A/C.
