Enjoy the Alpine Village motif of Gaylord, sister city to Pontresina, Switzerland! Gaylord is located in Otsego County, where there are numerous restaurants and unique shops in this quaint city. Gaylord has many events through the year including farmers markets, concerts, and the annual Alpenfest held in July.
Located only a short distance from the shops and streets of downtown Gaylord is Otsego Lake. The county's largest and most popular lake, it's enjoyed by visitors and local residents alike. Nearly five miles in length and about one mile across at its widest point, Otsego Lake has the added attraction of a concrete boat ramp for day use at the Otsego Lake County Park.
Otsego County also boasts beaches that are a perfect way to beat the heat. With miles of public waters for swimmers and boaters to cool off in, Otsego County can keep the fun going as the temperatures rise.
Wah-Wah-Soo - off Old 27 South on Otsego Lake - is only 1/2 mile from the campground and a great place to spend your day!

Elk viewing is a popular pastime in Gaylord! The city of Gaylord maintains an elk herd and provides viewing areas for the public to stop and watch the impressive herd. Under the city's care, the roughly 70 elk can be viewed from near the Elk's Lodge off Grandview at Elk View Park. The herd is contained on 108 acres. City staff feed the animals corn, hay and sugar beets, plus vitamins. The herd started with three elk 14 years ago, when a local nature center closed. Currently, a few of the bulls weigh well over 800 pounds and stand roughly 6' tall. The bulls will don their massive horns during the fall and winter, dropping them in the spring.
