People who work there are great. Jean checked us in and joked with us. Nice clean place. We stayed in a deluxe cabin which was better than expected. See comments below in room section. Pool is heated. Plenty of campsites if you want to tent or bring a camper. It's a camping resort!

Our first stay at Danforth Bay and found that, while being out on the pond was nice, the campground lacked for the price in many ways. Initially, we called to book to get a particular site and ended up having to pay more than the website was displaying, even considering the additional site lock fee. When asking about this, the employee indicated they saw the discrepancy, but there was nothing they could do, as it must be due to demand and the rate fluctuation based upon that, but I could ask the office during our stay. While there, the campground was practically empty and the office staff reported they could not adjust the price and it could only have been done at the time of booking. The showers closest to the lake, which is the most expensive area to book a site, were the worst showers I have seen at any campground, though we found that the showers on the outskirts were much better. There were also golf carts everywhere, which make it nearly impossible to enjoy walking around due to the dust from the dirt roads, the music often being played loud from them, and almost being hit by one at night. Moments of peace at the campsite were intermittent, due to a very loud rock concert being held for several hours our first night, as well as multiple days of them using a backhoe to back drag their dirt roads. We also observed their woods near our site to be littered with beer cans and boxes, in plain view from the road, during our whole stay. Again, for the premium price of this campground, a lot is left to be desired, and we likely would not return for a while.

Sites are large and have plenty of woods around them. The campground itself is quite large and a bit difficult to navigate but you can figure it out pretty easy with the map they give you. We used our ebikes a couple days (lots of hills) then rented a golf cart. The cart was nice, we were the first ones to rent it, had 0 hours on it brand new. Store is large and fairly priced.

Stayed 4 nights in April. Being off season, the place was pretty much empty. Nonetheless, the bathrooms were cleaned every day. Good pressure and hot showers. The front desk was on top of it and was ready with anything I needed. Laundry was card or coin operated, reasonably priced and well kept. Rec room had corn hole, a TV, and even study/work rooms. The bathrooms in there were super clean too. Super close is Mary's Mountain, walkable from the campground. Once at the Trailhead, it's a short 0.6 mi hike that is pretty steep in some places. The view is gorgeous!
