What a beautiful find! We booked this as it was close to the Trace Parkway and within our daily driving range. We arrived late but had two very helpful campers help us get settled into our spot. Some of the sites are oriented a bit strangely (we were in #18 and had to back in at an angle parallel to the street but very roomy) but all are very spacious and ours had an amazing lake view. Very well maintained and would love to go there again if ever in the area. Highly recommended.

Not my first time to rent. We have our annual Easter family get together here. Facility was very clean as always. Just exactly the setup we need. Only issue, mother nature decided we needed rain...........lots of rain...........Thank goodness we had this shelter! We did have issue with run off rain running in but nothing could have changed that........mega rain over long period of time. Will continue to rent Easter and any other time we might have need. Highly recommend! Scenery, view of lake, location, so many activities available for young and old - you will not find better! And rental price is very fair.

We had site 18 with a good view of the lake. We walked on the path around the lake and it was nice. The only drawback about our stay was the horseflies!
