This loop was a little more crowded that we expected and the lots were closer together than at the other loops. Still beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. We will definitely go back to Melvern!

What a beautiful place Melvern lake is! We were blown away by how well the entire area is maintained. Just beautiful with nature trails, playgrounds, fishing and all facilities meticulously well kept. The lots in loop C are spacious in a park like setting. We also stayed at loop B which felt a little more crowded but still quiet and peaceful. Gorgeous views. We will definitely go back!
