We are seasonal campers at Woodland the last three years and visited almost annually for more than 30 years! The Allen family are friendly, helpful and accommodating. The sites are large and private (for camping) and the neighbors are fabulous! We always look forward to escaping to our little paradise! Thanks!

Amazing site, great scenery. Our famy has had a permanent trailer there for the third year now. I highly recommend it, and the owners are great.

Very nice and clean. People are friendly. But as a guest the owners gouge you for visiting and staying overnight. Many people that have sites there say that alot of bigger families won't come and vist them because of the cost. Otherwise I would buy a trailer and have a site if it wasn't for the gouging $$$

My wife and I have been trailering here for four years now and love it! This park epitomizes what a family campground should be. No pool, no tuck shop just nature and friendly people. The Allen's take great care and pride in the property and work tirelessly to preserve the ambience of the land for your enjoyment. Clean lake with inflatable stuff for the kids, quiet nights at the campfire. Do yourself a favor and check these folks out.

We had an excellent stay at Woodland Camp Site. A great site where we could see the water, good bathrooms (even though you do have to pay 1$ for 5min) and quiet respectful neighbours. The owners were always around and helpful. Great value for your money as well. We would recommend it and stay again if we are in the area.

This Campground is beautiful and so are the people who run it. We didnt have coffee and asked where there was a place near by, one of the lady owners offered to make us a cup and even brought it to are site. All of the owners here are super nice and really takecare of there guests. Great park for kids, great lake with water toys and nice sites. This park is ran by family and they really treat there guests like family. I wish I could give it 100 stars, they deserve it. We will definitely be making this place are summer spot

We had a great time at Woodland last week. Two nights on a beachfront site was a treat. I was surprised that this place had, what seemed like, premium spots open to transient campers. It also seemed like $65/night was a bit high for not having a sewer hookup but for our limited stay, it was not a problem. The staff we encountered were helpful and friendly.
