Care Camps Big Weekend & Mother's Day Weekend

Help us fund raise during the annual Big Weekend for Care Camps!

Stay with us on May 9 & 10, 2025, and 50%* of the cost of the site on the second night will be donated to Care Camps! (Book Your Stay Here!)

Live Music with Daniel Michael Crane Sunday, 5/10/25! Throughout the weekend, we'll have special events to raise funds for Care Camps including: 50/50 Bingo, a Camp Basket Raffle, Campground Crafts, an Ice Cream Social and more! Plus, since it is Mother's Day Weekend, moms eat FREE at our pancake breakfast on Sunday!

Your stay will make a difference in the lives of children with cancer, by helping raise funds for medically supervised Care Camps across North America. These camps give kids with cancer a chance to attend a summer camp and just be a kid again. Funds raised from the Saturday, May 10 campground donation support the KOA Care Camps Trust, which distributes more than $1 million annually to support 125+ Care Camps. Learn more at carecamps.org
