Summary

AI generated

The campground offers clean facilities, stunning views, and a peaceful atmosphere with ample space between sites for privacy. Roger, the helpful host, ensures a pleasant experience despite the weather. However, visitors should prepare for mosquitoes and uneven tent sites, as well as a distant garbage disposal location.

We enjoyed our family reunion at the group site of the Frying Pan Campground. It gave us plenty of room for our tents and trailers, and the tables were long and nicely spaces. The fire pit was large and deep with space for chairs around it. Although the bathroom was vault, they were clean and well maintained.

Campground was in wonderful condition, clean and well taken care of.
Our campground host was friendly and helpful without being intrusive.
All around a great experience that we will do again, next year.
The campground would benefit from some investment and upgrading.

Frying Pan camp ground was a hidden gem. The location was perfectly of the main road, all the sites are spaced just enough. The camp host was friendly and very accommodating. We would stay here again and again. Our weekend was peaceful and the lake is just a short drive away for day fishing.

Campsite was great, the host on the other hand was very moody. Kids cant ride bikes without being harassed or accused of looking into other camps at things laying around, or trashing bathrooms. Kids were 5 to 9 years old and caused no problems. Rented 6 spots. wont go back if same hosts are ther.

The location was fantastic as it was far enough away from road and the lake to have a quiet experience. The best part were the hosts George and Vicki. They had so many stories to tell and were so informative on local happenings. The best example was when the told me about the geese tagging.
