What a terrific little retreat. The owners were quick to deliver firewood and open their store as needed for ice. The small beach and cedar lake are perfect for a hot day. Plenty of good sites for tent campers like us in addition to the full RV hookups. We will be back.

This is a beautiful campground, set on a lake with lovely owners. It’s easy to get to and close to the Jersey Shore. There is a great brewery about 20 min away. There’s a beautiful bike path (albeit along a main road) and miles to hike. The lake is small but pretty and they have canoes for rent. Sites are wooded and spacious. The setting is absolutely lovely. However, be prepared to spend 30 minutes getting into and out of your site. The roads within the campground are VERY narrow and heavily wooded. There are no easy turns and you maybe have some scars left on vehicle or trailer from the brush and or small trees that overhang the road. We are seasoned trailer pullers both with a boat and 31’ TT and it was challenging. But if you’re up for an adventure, you will love this campground.

They were the nicest people and super accommodating! We went tent camping and would definitely go again. They definitely have a smaller campground, so if you tend to go in your RV, I would see what size they can fit. You were also close to parks to hike or kayak in, and not too far from towns to do some exploring either. Definitely a good campground for a family.
