“Very clean facilities, beautiful location, helpful staff”

Thomas D 5 · Oct 2026 · Campspot

“Really beautiful campground with mountain views of the changing leaves. Lake was clean and clear so you could see the fish. A little strict with some of the Mennonite rules. Wish the hot tub was open . Enjoyed walking along Disc Golf course”
