The kids loved seeing Yogi and BooBoo! The “heyride” was fun, as was the jumping pillow! Loved the pool and the beach! New and remodeled bathhouses were super! The grass was nicely mown. Friendly staff. Had a wonderful time!​
S. SafranekJuly 2017
What a great family campground! The lake and beach area was clean and so fun with the inflatable slide and trampoline. The pool was very nice as well. Great activities planned for kids and special visits from yogi and boo boo. Nice spots to camp and the staff was all very kind and helpful. Will definitely be back.​
J. RiceAugust 2020
This is the first time I've ever been to this park and all I can say is AWESOME !!! They have a very cool water obstacle course in the lake, fishing, canoeing, cabins to rent, an in ground swimming pool, giant bouncy pillow and more. We'll most certainly go back. I give this place 5 out of 5 stars. It's definitely worth your while to go there.

We've been twice with a group of friends and even though our latest trip got rained out it's a great campground. All the facilities, even portable ones are clean, so much for the kids to do and lovely camp sites on the lake. I expect our family will make this an annual destination.
