We have been going here for at least 13 years. We love it. We camp with our RV. I have gone with my husband and dogs. Plus my kids and there family. The hosts ( Dennis and Gladys) became our dear friends from the moment we met them. It has about 44 spots in 3 different loops. Recently it has changed from first come first serve to Online reservations only. That made us go a little less since the better and shadier spots get reserved first now. All have cement pads. Hit and miss to get a flat one. But levelers help. The bathrooms are usually very clean. Sometimes the port-a-pottys can get dirty after major holidays. Also a great group camp at the end. Love fishing for walleye in our pontoon that we moor there also.

Site 29 is a pull through site that like MANY others in this campground places your door and awning “opposite” of the picnic table and fire pit and everything else honestly. If you pull through the way traffic is supposed to travel around that loop your door will open to a tiny patch of dirt and the road. You walk completely around your vehicle to find a picnic table, fire pit, and a few trees to set up a hammock. Your neighbors camper or RV will have a similar set up with their door opening up relatively close to your picnic table and fire pit, and they will have to walk clear around their vehicle to find their fire pit and table. They were just as perplexed as us. But the sites were clean and ready, aside from some dog poop, there were SO many dogs in the campground, many unleashed so I can see how some poo is unavoidable.
It was a pretty full campground that weekend but everyone was polite and well behaved. Lots of kids and dogs and generators, which doesn’t bother us. The pit toilets are in bad need of being pumped and are all very rank, but the flush toilets were clean and nice. Our site had some unexpected afternoon shade which was nice. If you have a camper with doors and awning on the left this may be a nice spot.

In September This place is like your personal private campground. The weather is usually good. The leaves are beginning to turn brilliant colours. We make a post summer visit part of our end of summer.

We booked for beginning of May 2024 as temps allowed for water and flush toilets. 2 camp sites for 2 groups... we had the entire place to ourselves. Warning early spring season comes with random weather. Rain or high winds. Camping is like a box o chocolates 😀
