Great family campground!

This is a great place. The sand beach is great for the kids and there is always something going on. We will definitely return.

Family Fun

The campsites are small, and some are cramped together, but we are really enjoying our stay here. They have tons of activities and the kids love their playground

3rd time camping in a hurricane. Water was up to bottom stair. Great Campground, but, flies, of biblical proportions. Otherwise fun place.

Week-long stay

Nice place, great owners. Too many kids for me. $452 for the week, plus $ 10 for the poop truck.

Pricey but nice

There are many seasonal campers here but the sites are neat and clean. I called the day before I wanted to visit and was able to be accommodated. The camp store is well stocked and inviting. Will not hesitate to come back or recommend this campground.

Seasonal dominated campground

This is a large seasonal oriented campground. The staff was not well trained and or not oriented to short term campers. There was no WiFi service as advertised and cell service was poor. Sites are close together. The whole campground was dominated by seasonal campers. There was not full service sewer hook up, only gray water. There was a dump station.

MASSIVE campground with plenty of activities

Overall had a really great weekend at this campground. The campground offers activities pretty much hourly for kids and adults to enjoy. Along with a pool, they also have a beach and a separate beach for dogs. They provide a store with all the essentials, a game room, laundry room, Rec hall, and multiple bathhouses throughout the Campground. They do trash pickup on the weekends so you can just leave your bags at the end of your site which is nice and they also provide delivery of wood/fire starter/ice to your campsite. The sites are pretty cramped and don’t offer for lots of activities to be done at your site. My only complaint are the number of dogs who bark constantly and the owners who let their dogs run off leash. Multiple times we had a dog from 3 sites down come over to our site to do his daily business at our site. For the most part, people are pretty respectful of the quiet time from 11pm-8am with the exception of the occasional door slammers at the crack of dawn. Definitely hope to return in the coming years

Large Family Campground

Fairly large campground. Tent sites available but mostly RV/Campers. WiFi in common areas isn’t great so if you’re planning on working during some down time, this isn’t the place. Nice hiking around the area. Bathrooms are clean. Good for kids/families.

Great Family Campground

Have visited this campground many many times and have never been disappointed. Plenty of activities and things for kids to do; Rec hall, mini golf, shuffleboard, beach, pool, playground. Park is kept clean and tidy. Weekends tend to get loud but we don't mind that.

Great Family Activities and contests

My family used to camp at this ground on an annual basis. There were all kinds of activities (kick-ball, ect) that everyone could participate in, a great play ground, and easy to navigate. One of my favorite memories here is having all of the kids make dinner for the adults, we cooked, cleaned, and had some of us act as wait staff to get orders, the parents didn't complain so much either. I also remember them doing a contest on father's day that I won, for writing up all the reasons why my dad was the best. He won a hat that he still keeps on his dresser.
