Natures Trace

my stay has been amazing so far. i have been well taken care of, everyone here is so nice and friendly it’s very welcoming. i definitely recommend staying here:)

Cheryl & John are incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had an amazing stay in the Pavilion Cabin which was immaculately clean & well appointed. The cabin offered an amazing view and was located steps away from the dock. We spent hours there fishing or simply taking in the gorgeous surroundings while enjoying a cup of coffee and a good book. If you want a relaxing and peaceful getaway, this is definitely the place for you. 😊

Outstanding, friendly and professional owners/hosts. Great location that is serene and tranquil. Great opportunity to fish, relax and enjoy a quiet getaway. The facilities are clean and well taken care of. Sit a spell on the dock and fish or just watch the sunrise and enjoy the marine life. It is truly an outstanding place to relax and just decompress.

Before I start my review of Nature's Trace Campground let me first tell you how we ended up here. In 2016 we found a campground within a mile from where we are now and rented a seasonal site which we enjoyed immensely. We spend 6 months here visiting and spending time with our daughter, son in law and grandson, and then 6 months in New York to be with our other daughter, son in law and two granddaughters. We rented there from 2016 until December 2023.

In 2021, unfortunately the owner passed away and the task of managing a campground was too much for his son. At the time we were paying $4k per year. In 2022, a new owner came in and the annual yearly rate rose from $4k to $4,400. We completely understand that prices go up and we accepted the rate without reservation. The following year the rate again rose from $4,400 to $4,840. In 2023, shortly after arriving for our seasonal stay the new owner asked what our plans were when our seasonal term was up to be renewed. We advised him we were planning on staying at which time he told us that the annual rate was increasing from $4,840 to $6,600 per year, and we would have to move it from where our spot was to a new less desirable lot. We were disgusted and wanted to leave and we found this gem of Nature’s Trace campground less than a mile away.

The minute we drove through Nature’s Trace we knew this was the place. The lots are huge and cut into the trees and it is the true camping experience. We met with the owner John Logan and agreed on the site we wanted and he had his staff prepare the site. We were excited to hear from him his ideas about the future for Natures Trace and in just over 16 months of being here we have seen several of his ideas come to fruition. We have a camp store, a large garden for campers to share the bounty, an awesome tiki hut and gathering place, on site washers /dryers, restrooms and showers, tiny houses and A frame houses to rent, and a whole lot more. Monthly get togethers at the tiki hut for various occasions, Super Bowl watch party, St. Patrick's day celebration, and coming up next weekend an Easter celebration. Everyone brings a dish to pass, and the owners Logan and his new wife Cheryl provide the main course.

The best however are the staff, John and Cheryl, Brian the campground maintenance manager and Celia the on site store manager. They all go above and beyond to make this place feel like one large family. We are seeing more and more people discover what Nature's Trace is all about and are moving in. Everyone here knows everyone and it is truly a large family. The plans they have in the works will be awesome in the future and will make Nature’s Trace even more awesome than it already is. The part that can't be overstated is the respect and genuine concern the owners and staff have for its residents.

I emphatically suggest you give Nature's Trace a try you won't regret it.

We had a great stay during a rare snow storm at the water front. The place was perfect for us as we were on a guided hunt nearby. The place was clean and the communication was as if we were family. Highly recommended. Planning to stay with them again in the future.
