Meet Your Hosts
Should you just need a get-away from the hustle and bustle of your life, then spend the weekend at our campground. Enjoy the outdoor swimming pool, outdoor pool table, giant chess set, basketball court and fun cycles. Coming in April 2012 a giant jumping pillow will be added to our playground. And if it’s been a really bad week at work, you can come out and do almost nothing at all. Light a campfire and relax to the sight, sounds and smells of the great outdoors. Don’t forget the free ice cream socials on Saturday night during the summer.
So whatever your pleasure might be, come on out and enjoy yourself. You deserve it, come on, you know you deserve it. We look forward to seeing you. We will try to convince the birds to sing quietly so as not to disturb your afternoon nap.
Enjoy
