Campground Review and Description
Description:
We had a wonderful trip. It was in April so not all the activities were open (i.e. the pool), but I met the park managers who were really nice. They are new this year, as the person who used to run the park passed away.
They were doing all kinds of work on the place including the bathrooms, the large party house, and installing disk golf and a really nice new playground. I caught a huge fish in the lake. I plan to go again this summer to see it when it all comes together. We think we found our new favorite place to camp.
Pros, Cons, Attractions and Additional Comments
Pros: Owners were doing major upgrades all over the park. The staff was extremely friendly.
Cons: It was hard being without Wi-Fi camping, but they are suppose to have it installed camp wide by mid-May.
Attractions: My wife loved the antique shops a mile away in Lithopolis, Ohio. There was also a great coffee shop in the same area, which was also for the morning coffee. We also went hiking at Stroud's Run nearby and got to see the historical working farm.
Additional Comments: It looks like it needed a lot of work but it also looks like they are well on their way to making it a perfect place for families to camp.
