Nick & I loved having Cherish and her family as our guests. They were just wonderful people, so friendly, respectful and left the camper tidy and clean. We would welcome them back anytime!
We are no stranger to vacations/getaways...but this one....this was extra special, compared to all others! The hosts are the MOST incredible people, so friendly and so helpful! The neighbors in the campground are also so friendly! The kids made friends with all the kiddos there and we were invited to eat/hangout mumtiple times! If you skip this opportunity, youre truly missing out! Thank you guys so much, we will be back!

Hi Paul & Family,
Thank you so much for the kind review, it actually brought tears to my eyes. Nick & I couldn't have expected better guests than you and your family, you're all so kind, sweet and respectful, the world needs more people like you, it would be a much better place. I will show this to the campground owners and neighbors, they will be appreciative. We'd love to have you back sometime, please keep in touch and take care of yourselves and enjoy the summer. Nick & Angie
We love camping & boating on the Muskingum & Ohio rivers. This was the best of both worlds. We enjoyed camping in a quiet & cozy campground & RV. The camper was clean and had all the essentials covered.
Owners were able to secure dock space for us and our boat was a stones throw away. We enjoyed our days on the water and our camping retreat at night. It was perfect! We will definitely be returning.
Owners were very friendly & helpful. If you enjoy camping and boating (like we do) it is the perfect destination.
