The campground host John and Pauline was OUTSTANDING!
I had trouble with my camper and they BOTH jumped right in and gave me a hand.
They were also EXCELLENT with my 80 year old parents that were camping this past weekend too.
Definitely recommend!,

Beautiful experience, our second visit to Wayne Forest! We just bought our first camper getting ready for retirement and will return for sure! Loved our sites, clean peaceful quiet lots of hiking, the dam and beautiful boardwalk around the lake was peaceful, went fishing on our first trip also enjoyed all the hills, trees and having coffee in the mornings listening to the birds and turkeys! Our host were very friendly & helpful. A five star in our little book of places we are visiting! Nature at its best!!!

Our overall experience was good. The hiking trails are well maintained. The lake is also a great place to kayak and fish.
