The park

Family-run since 1974

We are a working campground, not a resort chain. The sites are level, the water is hot, and somebody who knows the answer picks up the phone.

Half a mile of private shoreline, a boat launch you will not queue for, and the kind of quiet that makes people book the same week every year.

Worth every penny for a lakefront site

Quiet, spotless, and the lakefront sites are worth every penny. Wayne came out on a golf cart to help us level the trailer without being asked.

Great hiking base, showers are excellent

Twenty minutes to the Long Trail and the bathhouse is cleaner than most hotels. Only note is the Wi-Fi slows down after about 8pm.

Third season in a row

The new bathhouse is a real upgrade and the fenced dog park is a lifesaver with two huskies. We book the same week every August.

Easy big-rig access

Pulled in with a 41-foot fifth wheel and had no trouble at all. Pull-throughs are genuinely level and the 50A service held up in the heat.
