What a peaceful and calm place to visit. We loved paddling on the lake. One of the days we paddled a ways up the lake and had lunch at concession stand. The food was wonderful and the small ice cream cone was huge.

Having a campsite on the water was great. Good lake for kayaking. It would be nice if all bathrooms included showers. We enjoyed a fun side trip to Pine Creek bike path.

I’m from New York and this was an amazing get away from the city. The other campers are respectful and the grounds are taken care of beautifully, they are kid friendly and relaxing. I am thinking of setting up another trip, this time without my children and husband and just my sister-in -law and myself.
