It was our first time camping here, and we loved our experience. The new concrete drives and pads were amazing. Super clean and quiet. We loved having the private lake to fish and the target shooting range. We will be back!

Awesome newly renovated campsites. Love having fire rings contained within concrete patio - seems much safer. When backing in to some sites, you need to back in fully in order to level fully. Recommend a map be developed to show great walking trail and archery trail along with campsites for your guests. Nice to have equestrian sites.

We stopped for an overnighter, but were amazed at how well the campsites had been updated. Loved the landscaping, cement pads, fire pits, nice picnic tables, restrooms and showers looked great and camp hosts were very friendly.

This campground was upgraded over the Fall and Winter of 2023 and 2024. Our site was listed as having water and electric, but it actually had full hookups. It's a lovely setting with many trees, lake views and a park for the kids. It's also got horse stables if you are an equestrian.
