    First off, staying here was fun.. We stayed over Labor Day, when it was very busy, and we made fun…read morememories. The kids highlights were biking all around, the wagon rides, the golf cart parade, and fishing. The good outweighed the bad, but I like reading detailed reviews so I know what I'm getting into- so I hope this review will give a clear picture of what to expect here. First with the good: - the WiFi is great, 5 bars.. as it's a total dead zone for cell towers. This was great all throughout the park. -The "lake" I say this lightly as it's not the size of a lake I'd consider.. it is pretty, you can rent boats for $5 per .5hr or you can bring your own. -swimming pool on grounds (which looked nice) -The campground tries to have fun activities. They have a huge blowup water slide and also a smaller one for littler kids (check to make the schedule (as I believe it changes) -Our cabin was clean and had NICE amenities considering it was just a rustic cabin. (Cable TV, A/C, Heat, Microwave, covered porch and mattress was nice.) This was awesome!! -Staff was friendly, attentive and I'd say like others reviews they make the place as nice as they can, eager to help. The store they have is nice too. Our Bad: (these are things I think the AB owner should address (have they visited lately or ever?) - the bath house nearest us was UP a steep hill... not accessible to everyone. no lights near it at night making it hard to see. There was no door knob on the women's room - you had to grip the padlock to even open the door as the knob was totally gone.. It was grungy. I get it, that it's camping but each bathroom we visited here was the same way. Run down. (Clean as it could be - but run down) (I saw many different staff cleaning while here, and I will commend them on that. The trash was picked up timely, the stalls had toilet paper, and things were cleaned regularly.) -A common theme here is that we felt like the whole place needed a face lift. Freshen up the playground, fill in the potholes, update the bath-houses, the pedal carts are old (the kid that unlocked it for us even said these like 20 years old) -The loud noises during the quiet hours was HARD. The drunkenness, hollaring, cussing, romping on golf carts all throughout the night was very difficult for our family with kids. We witnessed a golf cart crash into a ditch with drunk adults. The campground tried to control the noise I believe with a whistle - but the troublemakers were still there in the morning.. This alone forced us to leave a night early because we needed better sleep than the night before) - *biggest thing that surprised us was the lack of privacy. We felt like the sites were TOO close together that there was little to no privacy. If you are thinking you'll be tucked in and have some relaxing time, sorry you won't find that. Golf carts running by constantly, everyone could see what you were doing and vise versa. I felt like I was sitting on a front porch in a busy town. We were not tucked in amongst trees like we pictured in our mind. One of my pics show this and how tight the rentals are. Things would be way better with every other site being there and the others gone. We felt like we were packed in there.

    Booked 4 nights to spend with extended family, our two families spending about 2k total. In less…read morethan 24 hours, our 6 kids and other passersby were yelled at by a vulgar and belligerent drunk who wouldn't leave the campsite, a family moved into the site next door and promptly instructed us to move all of our things that were up against our deck because they needed the space. "Enjoyed" our morning coffee overlooking the algae covered pond (see: NOT A LAKE) to the scents of the septic pump truck making its rounds. An hour later was blessed with a spray from the facility's speeding airboat which appeared to be spraying some unknown substance around the water- hope it wasn't toxic, because it got in my drink. There isn't enough room to light a fire and gather around it at the campsites (think garbage can fires in back alleys) Inflatable activities that are advertised are only open on the weekends apparently, even though it is peak season. You have to pay extra for any and everything. There is no value here, not even in the typical camaraderie you get with other outdoorsy folks. Will never ever ever return.

    I mean it's ok...!? If your going there to fish, good luck. The main lake is not great fishing…read more However if you venture up to twin fawn and ice pond they are ok. It's a nice walk around the main lake. Amazing pictures to be taken of foliage and lake. I would say avoid Summer crowd as it can bring in some riff raff campers. Not great hiking unless your looking for flat dirt road hiking. If you don't plan on camping you can rent a Log cabin. The log cabin rentals are....eh? Do your homework prior to going to be sure you know what your renting. Has beach on end of the lake but can sometimes be mud and not sand. They do have row boat and kayak rentals that are pretty nice. Food stand is good with decent food stand food. All in all it's not a bad place but very low adventure but pretty.

    What an incredible place to just breathe in the fresh air! Amazing campground with many tables for…read morea picnic. The tables are a good distance from each other and perfect for the 6 ft social distancing amid the COVID-19 Pandemic. This park was not crowded, had a few families and dogs- but just the perfect amount this past Saturday. I really enjoyed being here and was so grateful for the views. They have a nice hiking trail and it's a wide open space. I am thankful for the lake where you can canoe and kayak. Everyone is very respectful to each other. The park also has two lovely playgrounds for children to play on- after the pandemic. I can't say enough good things about this park because it's just perfect. If you ever have a chance to get outside and explore this is the place to be. Early mornings in the summer - I cannot wait to go back- but friends don't forget your masks! Stay safe!

    Second time mining, but first at this location. You can mine here until sunset unlike other…read morelocations that have a set time to close. Earlier in the year gives you a longer opportunity to mine! $28 per person to enter. There is equipment to rent or buy, I suggest renting compared to the prices of buying, or bring your own! Compared to another mines, this one is smaller with three different areas, we chose the black diamond mine. Being newly excavated, we had a chance at unearthing more diamonds in this location versus cracking open the stones. Unfortunately, we stopped in during a mining competition so one mine was pretty much off-limits but we were still able to find a lot of cool diamonds and rocks

    Knowledgeable and welcoming staff, cabin was clean, bathrooms were clean, camp showers were hot…read more Cabins have windows and an overhead fan, but if you are going during the hot season, bring an extra to help move air through. We went at a rough time with a brutal heat index but came back with a decent collection of stones. My son wandered and found a few stones loose in the dirt of the mine. Definitely suggest bringing a pop up canopy for shade while mining. The sluicing option (buy a bag, pour in sieve, rinse) produced some great stones and fossils that we can't wait to tumble and polish. Most of the lot is gravel, which makes for difficult terrain for wheelchair users. The beds in the cabin are rough sleeping, especially after a day spent mining. If you can, pack extra padding for a better sleep. Overall, a good experience. We'll be back when the temps aren't so cruel and see what we can get when we aren't risking heat exhaustion to pound rocks.
