TENT CAMPER: A great spot, it gives you the feel of the outdoors back wood camping with the bonus of having full equipped bathrooms, showers, and a pool to cool off in. The tent spots were very clean with a wide open space to play catch in near by. Typically staff are a little hesitant to rent a space to a group of teenagers how ever with the mutual respect we were seen as just other campers. Great staff very friendly and helpful. We will be back next summer for sure!!

Terrific hidden gem of a campground. Lots to do (bingo, wagon rides, horseshoes, golf, pool) or just relax. Owners are all super friendly. Lots are good size.

Sept 2/21 --- Just spent a week (Aug 22-29) here and enjoyed it very much. Very clean. The owners are fantastic and sociable and have a great sense of humor. The salt water pool is great. Miniature Golf, small regular golf course in front, etc. When you first pull up to the Campground, it looks very nice and inviting. A very nice place if you want to stay for a bit or just a few days as you are passing through.
