Weekend Trip to Nature’s Playground Basecamp

This campsite was really beautiful and peaceful. We had no issues with bugs or anything like that. It is quite spacious and the lake is very close by which is nice. It was also helpful that the state park was nearby so we were able to use the beach and showers there. Stephanie was very helpful and accommodating which is always appreciated. Everything in Crosby is only a few minutes away and there’s a lot of cute shops and restaurants there. I would definitely recommend staying here if you want a more private trip surrounded by beautiful nature!
