The campground employees were very friendly. The site was very small. But, the patio was nice. Ok place for a quick getaway. The WiFi wasn’t very good. We will go again, but will hope to pick a much larger site. 10/19/2020

This was a totally relaxing weekend. The activities were well organized with social distancing executed. Trick or treat was a blast. To see all the little and not so little campers dressed up was such fun! The camp site was perfect... 10/19/2020
