Reviews

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Campspot ↗ (37 reviews, ★ 4.5). Not written or edited by us.

“Stayed in the waterfront cabin. Note the cabin door does not lock. Very close to the bathroom/showers which was nice. Cabin does get very hot so while we had fairly nice weather, could be unpleasant at 80+ degrees in July/August. Felt a little expensive for the accommodations.”

A.P. 3 · Jun 2026 · Campspot

“It was a nice campground, but no activities or socializing going on.”

J.W. 4 · Sep 2025 · Campspot

“The campground was very quiet. Loved having a water site.”
