Manager's Message

*IMPORTANT NEWS * We are very excited to announce several ongoing construction projects. We are building an entrance station, a new road to the campground to help RV traffic flow, a playground, additional cabins and new tent campsites with a bathhouse. However, the tent sites are not currently available. We are also constructing a mile bike path to Campbell Lake that will include a restroom and picnic area with water and electricity. We hope you are as excited as we are about our new additions. For your safety, please remember to stay out of construction areas. Thank you!
