Customer Reviews
We agree with the positive reviews. This place has ample space and activities. The location is close to town but quiet off the beaten path and peaceful. There is a nice shower central to the camp area and sounds like they give out some solid scares for Halloween season. I hope to come back!
My son, husband and myself went to this place this weekend and just got back. I have to tell you, it was amazing. We had never slept in a tepee before and I loved it. It has cots inside the tepee's and it was very spacious. You can bring your tent here and set it up, and still be able to use the electric bathrooms and hot showers. The price was not bad at all, and you get to fish there too. I love this place and will definitely be going back! My son and husband loved it as well. The owners are great down to earth people.... Five out of Five Stars. PS. We never seen a coon or skunk! Great place!!!!
Very nice place. We stayed in a Teepee. Kids loved it! It did rain the next morning and even with the flaps closed we did get wet. The drips from above soaked our cots and water did run across the floor. We are very avid campers and this is not a problem for us. I include it for the sake of people who would need to know. Bathrooms are set up very nice and were very clean. Owner gave us pointers to hike a creek bed where we found fossilized wood and other fossils. It was nice to cool off. Our fire pit was set with a fully adjustable grill which was very appreciated. We had a very large owl land in the tree above us! We also enjoyed the giant chess set. We said our evening prayers on a short dock that goes out into the small pond. It was a very nice experience.
We tent camped and was very impressed with the cleanliness of the campground and bathrooms The staff were great, very friendly and accommodating for us. We had electric hookup and ran a fan. We came on weekday and it was very hot but set up under tree and stayed very comfortable. Checked out the other sites and loved the teepees, also lots of nice picnic tables around Will definitely return and do recommend.
I love this campground! I visited on a hot weekend in July with my boyfriend. We opted for the camp site with electricity. It was the perfect amount of space for us, had a plug at the edge of the space, a picnic table, and fire pit. It was quiet the weekend we visited and we were one of the few campers there. The campground itself was well maintained and had several tipis and other structures on site. The place had a lot of charm and soul that made me enjoy my stay even more. It's close by to various hiking options as well as amenities of French Lick bars, restaurants, and casino. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
