No cable TV company refusing to pay a three-year contract to Media Com should receive a discount when staying here for no total accommodations

We wanted to just check out the area for one night they put together two sites so we could do so! People are great.Campground has lots to offer. Nice little store,and if they don’t have what you need a short walk to kwik Trip and you have it all!! Staff was very nice and super informative! We are so glad we stopped here and will be back! They don’t have a lot of overnight or weekender sites so call way ahead! trust me very worth it!!! Rick and lyn

This was our first time in the area. The campground was recommended by friends. We loved staying and had NO issues. It is a very nice campground compared to others we have visited in the state. It has great sized lots, so you don’t feel crowded. There is extra room for parking if needed. The space was nice & level so it made for an easy set up. There is a cement patio area with your picnic table and a fire pit. Most lots are full hook up. Pool was an added plus for swimming with kids. Bathrooms/showers were clean & well kept. Staff was helpful with any questions we had. There is a gas station near by as well as the bike trail. Staff also offered us another spot near our friends when it became available. We plan to stay there again and definitely recommend to others!!
