What customers say
This quiet, roomy site gets high marks for friendly staff, spotless facilities, and a great location. Guests loved the big pitches, excellent fishing, and the unique 'Bus Bar.' A few noted a rare whiff from a nearby plant and wished for more restrooms when busy. Site upgrades are in progress; recommended for a chill getaway.

Lovely, peaceful site.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely, peaceful site. Site manager pleasant and friendly. Enjoyed an evening stroll around the lake. Good food at the local pub about a mile down the road.
Disliked The only negative was at times, depending which way the wind was blowing, there was an unpleasant smell from a nearby factory.
