Amazing as always someone that’s been going for over 6 years I can see they are improving and adding more, I’ll be excited to see how all final upgrades look.
Fireplace on a patio right outside of our lakeside room. Running fountain in the background. Off season, so it is sooooo quiet! Truly enjoying our stay!

There’s something for everyone! The weekend themes keep families engaged and they have activities for all ages. I love that this campground offers several options for people who don’t own a camper/tent. The cabin option is amazing. We will be back!!
Cabin was nice. Clean. Equipped. Service was friendly. I was called to be informed to bring my own bedding. Did have issues with the pipes freezing but maintenance corrected the issues fast. Great walking areas. My pup loved the open space.
First time staying there. We wanted to get away for a night and this was perfect. The room was nice and cozy and very comfortable. We will bring the family next time in the spring hoping to do some fishing.
Overall pleasant experience. Staff was super friendly and accommodating and the property was quiet. The property was what you’d expect from a cabin on a lake, dated but cozy - no complaints as far as “updating amenities” like others have mentioned as I expected it to be rustic. The beds were more comfortable than expected so my only dig on comfort was the futon. We didn’t use it for sleeping but even for sitting, it was rough (lol) could definitely use a new futon mattress; I don’t know a human could sleep on it comfortably. My only genuine complaint was the cleanliness. It was very dirty on arrival and appeared as though the cleaning staff had only done a quick wipe down immediately before arrival like it was a hot swap of tenants but the tip envelope said they cleaned it several days prior to arrival. Not filthy enough to warrant a Karen complaint to management, but definitely not cleaned well. Showers were hot and the little store on site was nice with a friendly staff. Overall a pleasant experience, just needs a more attentive cleaning staff to get this a “5 Star” rating in my opinion. Would recommend for anyone coming through, at least for the experience.
I hesitate writing a review because I almost don't want people to find out about this hidden gem! Very affordable, fantastic staff, fun area. This is definitely where my family will be checking first when we are in the area.

Hunting weekend
My husband and son used this for a hunting weekend. They said that the cabin was out dated and unlevel. Linens and towels were not included but could be rented.
