What a great place to camp! Staff was fantastic. This is our second trip coming and we chose the cabin option instead of tent. It was AMAZING. Plenty of fish caught. Plenty of good memories. Would definetly recommend and this will be our yearly camp ground for years to come!

10 out 10 would recommend! So much to do. We stayed in a cabin YSN2. It’s close to the pool and the beach. We loved the daily activities that are offered. We had friends staying in the cabin next to us. The campground had so many things to do. Some of the activities do cost money. The great part about that is they can charge your room and you don’t necessarily have to have cash.

We love this place! We typically stay in a cabin and each time it’s been very clean and comfortable. The grounds of the park itself are maintained very well. The lake is the biggest attraction for my kids. They have an absolute blast! We will see you next year!

10 out 10 would recommend! So much to do. We stayed in our own RV while visiting for seven nights. We thoroughly enjoyed the lake obstacle course (this does cost extra but you buy your band for a flat fee that’s good for the entire stay), the pool, the water slides, and the splash pad. They also offer a nice mixture of free and paid activities. We participated in most of their free ones and only one paid one - the tie dye shirts. We definitely plan on making the 2.5 hour trip again to take in this park with our family.

10 out 10 would recommend! So much to do. We stayed here on father's day weekend for a family getaway. From 9 months to 60 years old there is something for everyone. Fishing, swimming, kayaks, paddleboards, live music, playground. We will definitely be back.

10 out 10 would recommend! So much to do. We went here years ago with our children then just stayed a weekend in one of the Glamping tents. Loved it staff is friendly. Most important thing is everything is kept up place is clean and beautiful. A must if you have children. Just a quick tip rent a golf cart it's so much better and you can see everything.
