Was welcomed warmly and guided through the various features of the campground. The community is great, lots of seasonal visitors with many open sites to pitch a tent. Mary Ann was incredible as she went above and beyond to help me when I had trouble. Nature trails and Amish communities make it an amazing place to stay and go hiking, enjoying the great views of the lake.

Marianne and Mike the park managers went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed even bought a brand new gas grill and made sure I had it to cook out Friday night! They are the reason that I would love to go back again. I love where the cabin was located above a playground that I could watch my grandchildren play on. Rec hall also was a great addition to give the kids something to do while at the campground and a library so the kids could get books if they wanted and even another lady I can’t remember her name did a thing with my grandchildren finding a couple things called campground critters. I thought that was awesome! All the people that camp there were more than friendly, especially the families up behind us that had a bunch of teenagers that were great with my grandchildren also! You can bet I will go back but because of Marianne and Mike not the owner Mark who is kind of rude.

Have been here many years ago but back for new owner. Mark is very nice and attentive. He is visible and accessible. Our site had just what we needed. Campground is very quiet. Lot of seasonals so not as much in and out as a lot of places. The only thing to criticize is the woman’s showers. They definitely need an overhaul. The shower I chose the first night backed up so badly I was standing I 2 inches of water and that grossed me out. Second one had a really bad shower head. No mirror in woman’s bath house so can’t dry hair etc. just dreary and kind of dirty. Other than that our week was great. But please please update the woman’s bath house!

Stayed for one night in one of the cabins, which was comfortable. Friendly folks all around. Loved sitting out front have a drink and a smoke and watching the world go by.
