Hidden Gem!

My group of 6 reserved the smallest cabin on this campground last minute, 2 days before arriving. Andy was super helpful and accommodating. We found it was well worth the price and the amenities and activities (including the lake and boats that were provided free on site) very enjoyable. Very cool to find such a nice campground tucked away in a low traffic region.

Pleasant Stay

The owner met us at the cabin and showed us around. I was staying in the cabin while my 16 year old son and friends stayed in the adjacent tent sites. They truly enjoyed the lake, and spent much of their time playing kayak-football with a floating ball. The place was clean and the owner attentive. The cabin is sufficiently large for a few people to sleep, but was fine for gathering at meal times or when it was too hot.
