Vanessa - I found out about this campground in a brochure, camping magazine, and online. I RV camped there in July 2003.

Campground Review

We spent three nights here, and it was a great family get-away. This place is clean and well-maintained. We never left the campground. We had plenty of time to relax at the pool/kiddie pool and also on the beach. They have a 50-acre lake, and they rent out kayaks, paddle boats, canoes, and row boats. The swimming beach is nice. The playground equipment is very nice. Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear, and Boo Boo all greet the children in the morning and in the evening. At night they show Yogi Bear cartoons. They have activities all day long, and they offer two wagon rides per day.

The sites are small, but they were nice. We have a 30-foot camper and got full hook-ups. People with tents can camp right near the lake, if they choose. If you don't have a camper or tent, they have simple cabins to bigger cabins and park model trailers to rent.

I do a lot of camping and even have a nice seasonal site on a lake, but this was a great place to take the kids for a vacation. Not only did my kids love it, but my husband and I felt like we were on a real vacation too. This place was really nice.

Kids love this place, great get away for priceMay 17, 2009By dtayfel
"We have been going here for 22 years. All of our kids just love it. We don't have a trailer, so we are tent campers. There are several scheduled activities all day for the kids and family. You can go on line to check for special themes for the week. There is a small game room if it rains. They even have washer and dryers available. The fishing is hit or miss (one year great and the next no so great). The showers are always clean!! The staff is always very nice. In all the time we have been going there we have never had a problem (except rain!!!!) Last summer we took our friends with there 4 kids that never have camped and they loved it. They have been begging to go back. If you set up your tent by the bathroom be prepared for rude campers cutting through your campsite (our only complaint). Happy camping!!!"
