Customer Reviews
We went recently for a ladies camping weekend. The park is very nice, it’s a great place for families looking to have some relaxing time away from a busy life. The park is set up to be more like a community base setting. Every one is friendly and is happy to help with whatever questions you have. What I really love about this park was the hiking/biking trails. No matter what path you take for biking or hiking it leads right back into the park. Therefore you can never get lost in the woods. Another thing I did like was where the facility is located. It’s like a light house to guide you back to your street. The website said no pets but it seem as if no one is going by that rule. I don’t mind people having their pets but when you go to the facility and find a dog in the baby changing table, that clearly violates the rule. I can’t imagine being a parent and being my child to use the facility and lay the child in the same area someone had their dog laying. Other than that it’s a great place to go camping.
We dropped our kayaks in at the campground which is allowed, then parked our trailer by the office. The pond is very quiet unless you go by the beach, but even then it's quite pleasant. Lots of wildlife to see along the edge of the woods, fish to catch and water smooth as glass to paddle on. There are probably easier drop in sites if you don't have a trailer. Great paddling and not busy.
Absolutely serene. Stayed at the canoe sites which were immaculate, and well kept. The RV sites looked nice as well. Didnt expect to be able to camp so close to the water! Only thing I was missing was a kayak. Hammock campers beware, there is ordinance against tying anything to the trees.
Such a beautiful park with updated bathrooms and roads also all amenities are available. Very safe and plenty of space to do activities.
