Balanced feedback on a family-friendly lakeside RV resort

Guests often praise

  • Clean, spacious campsites with level parking and conveniences like a gift bag at check-in

Worth knowing

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. It's almost exclusively seasonal campsites. Because of that, everyone knows one another. Manager Terry is very friendly, caring and accommodating. She works hard to keep the grounds well maintained. We have monthly group activities such as chili cook-offs, children's activities, and mother's/father's day breakfasts. The past few years we have had huge Labor Day party with a bounce house, hog roast and a band. We love our time here.

Best RV resort in Midwest (bar none). Clean, heated pool, free boat launch for guest, Terry (manager) is the absolute best!!!

Very pleasant experience. The manager and her son were extremely helpful in getting us situated and set up, despite a late arrival (after 9PM), and we got a little gift bag with our registration! The site was level and spacious. It's primarily long term residents, and that is obvious (and not a bad thing).

Me and my friends LOVE this place! The lake is so clean and so fun to be in. The pool is normally clean, and it is also a great size. Me and my friends come here almost every weekend it is open and it's so fun. 10/10 recommend. There is also a nice restaurant across the street from it.

LOVE. THIS. PLACE. Very family oriented campground. Clean. Pet friendly. Campers here are very welcoming and management is truly accommodating and helpful. We have camped here for many years and have enjoyed every minute. We absolutely could not ask for a better manager and better accommodations. The pool is ALWAYS clean, the lake is nearby, Monroes Crossing is available for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a cocktail. What more could you ask for?
