Terrible experience - I had to cancel and was told I would not receive a refund under ANY circumstances. I will tell everybody I know about this and boycott the entire organization

Great place Nice and quiet as a campground should be. Not full of RVs with their party lights on all night and their plastic palm trees. Beautiful sky, able to see the stars clearly, nice lake with a path all around it. Well kept, friendly hosts. Very nice.

The campground itself is excellent! The road really sucks. Hard to understand why because a newer John Deere road grader is just sitting at the campground rusting away.

Pleasant location in the forest, with a nice beach at a small attractive lake. Campground is nicely laid out and the campsites are spacious. Nice hosts. Only a few of the sites have hookups, and a side effect of that is that quite a few of the campers used generators, making the overall feeling rather noisy. The location is rather far off the beaten path, so getting to other attractions and even getting propane requires long trips.
