A nice on-site store selling swag, fishing poles, fishing gear, snacks, ice cream, sno-cones, some essentials and a snack/coffee bar. The owners are welcoming and always available for any questions. We stayed in a Yurt. It was clean, spacious and comfortable for our family of 5. The Yurt had a nice kitchenette and bathroom with shower. Family is what the Narrows is all about. Fridays have a nice community fire by the lakeside for s'mores and socializing with other guest. Every Saturday night is movie night by the lakes edge. The Narrows truly wants that family chill vibe at the resort and does a great job of creating it. This is not the place to come for drunken loud partying. I know other guests and I really appreciate the wholesomeness of the entire resort and the experience it provides our families. I watched my young daughter catch her 1st fish ever, from the dock. She talked about her newfound love for fishing and swimming with the other kids, for the entire drive home. My older kids paddle boarded across the lake. The kids loved the pontoon boat ride around the entire lake, with rope plenty of swings dotting the lake. The afternoon ice cream from the on-site store for each of the kids in the afternoon were a daily highlight. The Narrows is doing everything right to make it all about families and we will definitely be coming back annually.

We arrived in the evening, around 6pm. The signs were not clear on where to check in (or not check…read morein at all in this case) and no one was there to speak to. We finally found where we were supposed to be and decided to just pull in and get set up for the night. The camp sites were VERY short, we were barely able to fit our unit in, which was not what the website stated. There were also lots of trees hanging down and overgrown that made it difficult to get in. All of the other units in the camp ground were covered in spider webs and overgrown weeds/grasses. Clearly many people had not moved their units in a long time and several probably had not had people inside them in a long time either. Overall it was not a very comfortable place to be. I would not have felt comfortable staying there as a female alone. The lake is right across the street but it was buggy, hot, humid, and smelled like sewage. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone to stay, nor would I stay there again myself. Luckily we were only passing through for the night and only there maybe a total of 12 hours, but that was even too long.

Very tight space to get a 34ft trailer and a long bed truck to park thru. There were canoes on the side free to use for guests. Also life jackets for adult and kids. Kids spent the morning fishing behind our trailer by the fire pits. Picnic tables also for every spot. A cute little hang out area near the canoe. Games in the room by the office and also bathroom/showers available. There wasn't much space for kids to ride there bikes. Was a great stay still.

We opted to have dinner (pizza & salads) on our first night there and everyone was pleased. We had a group of 27 - including lots of kids - and it was a fabulous experience. The people working the front desk area were fine, we didn't really have to interact with them much after check in. If I could give one suggestion that would make it even better... more breakfast options in the morning. The oatmeal was delicious though. We loved the coffee and tea station. It is a little pricey to stay here, but it's a great experience! Beautiful place.

I couldn't understand why I started to become congested beyond reason. I DO NOT suffer from allergies nor do I sneeze from new environments.....and I figured out in the morning after heavy fog rolled in the complete dampness of the inside of the tent. I started to approach "wheezing" phase, took my arse outside the tent and it got better. We stayed in L5. Mildew/mold sickness is totally real and can cause serious problems; I'm not trying to scare anyone, but simply bring awareness. I know, as it took me months to recover from mold intoxication from 2024. MG needs to revamp their shower facilities as there is black mold in tile work and floor. Bigger ventilation will kick it. I was overwhelmed with a waft of mildew when I opened the shower door. Also MG, you guys really need to stay on top of keeping the bathroom(s) clean. I encountered disgusting habits from females. So gross...too nasty to mention. I don't understand humans. Be clean and respect others. If you don't mind screaming kids running through your tent area, damp camping, and icky bathroom behavior, cool. If you do, skip it.

We reserved a boat and arrived at the designated time. The boat we were given, we found had an almost dead battery. I called the office from the lake and the manager told us to just click the breaker switch. So doing this we limped a little farther up the lake and then the battery died altogether. I once again called and the manager said she didn't know if she had a boat to retrieve us, but she would call back in 5 minutes. After 15 minutes we hailed another boat from the resort and asked them to tow us in. They said they also had been given a boat with a dead battery but were able to get back in and switch boats . When we got back to the dock I saw the manager and asked for a refund. She flatly refused and had her employees remove us from the property. I was with my 10 year old grandson and my 82 year old disabled husband. We were set to at least use the beach for the day, but no. Now day passes are no longer a part of boat rental . So she had her employees, who were red with embarrassment, pick up our belongings and usher us out the gate. This was such a change from the way the resort was run under the owners. I heartily advise avoiding this business until new management is installed. It's a shame really because we visited several times each summer with family and friends. We won't be back unless we hear things have changed for the better.
