As far as campsites go I thought Crosslake was pretty good. They have a beach with a swimming area,…read moresites both with and without electricity, stalled bathrooms with showers, evening activities and enforced quiet hours. They ask that you purchase their "certified" firewood for $6 a bundle and the woodshed is only open from 6pm-8pm so make sure you get there before they close and buy enough to last. The sites that are on the edge of camp are really tough to sleep at because they are right next to the main road so all night you hear cars speeding by. But it was a fairly quiet campground during the day and even with neighbors you have privacy and peace. I also wish there was an area with softer ground for tents. It was very difficult to pitch in the gravel because they stakes didn't want to go in and there were lots of sharp rocks trying to poke up through the bottom of the tent. Everything in town is within walking distance and there are trails everywhere. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. I was surprised by how few mosquitoes there were and wonder if the campground sprays for them. I really think my son would have a good time here so I want to bring him and update my review based on his experience too. But I would come back because we had a good time!

If anyone would like to see the letter she mailed to my 87 year old father, who had been a seasonal for over 15 years and who's wife was on Hospice and just recently passed away, let me know and I would be happy to share the eviction letter he got from her. My dad didn't spend a lot of time at his seasonal site last year, because he was taking care of my mother. Now that she has passed, he doesn't have his seasonal site to enjoy this year and beyond. My dad loved the campground and the previous owners. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS CAMPGROUND OR MICHELLE FUSSY THE OWNER, There are plenty of beautiful campgrounds in the area to support. I would give her a negative 10 review if I could. I put this same review on last fall, but was forced to remove it because she purposely overcharged by dad's electric bill and would only agree to his calculation if I took my review off here. THIS CAMPGROUND OWNER IS DECEITFUL

We were there for the Jenkins, VFW's 40th anniversary celebration. (Best meat raffle in the state) We'd most definitely go again!
