My second time visiting this camp site. I’m a novice at camping. Each time that I visited, I was impressed: friendly staff, helpful fellow campers, and aesthetically pleasing environment, e.g, lakefront view, farm animals, swimming pool, hot tubs available in select rentals and renovated bath houses. Very safe setting for solo campers, couples and families.

Such a great spot for a getaway! The campground was peaceful, well-kept, and had everything we could’ve needed for a perfect tent camping weekend. The lake views were absolutely stunning—especially with all the fall colors reflecting on the water. The bathhouse felt luxurious for camping! We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to come back next time to stay in one of the cabins!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The campground was beautiful—tucked right by a gorgeous lake surrounded by stunning fall colors. It felt like an adult summer camp in the best way possible! Everything we needed was right on site, from fire pits to picnic areas. The bath and shower house was impressively clean, warm, and one of the nicest we’ve seen at a campground. You can tell the owners put a lot of care into maintaining the place. We had such a peaceful, cozy stay and can’t wait to come back again next season!

I’ve stayed at this site twice now and will continue to return. This is a great place to visit in the fall, the trees look beautiful. The cleanliness of the bathrooms is a great feature. The trails are also nice but the red trail needs to be marked better, it’s easy to get lost in that area. Overall a fun time.
My one complaint - people need to STOP LITTERING!!! The amount of litter on the red trail is in my opinion unacceptable. If you are visiting/enjoying nature..why are you littering!?? Be better people and stop littering

We have been here a couple times before. We love the land and the lakes. The updated bathroom is nice and clean. The only area they could improve on is to have someone that actually works in the office. This happens every time we stay there. You have to call to get someone to the office. This time it was 10 minutes for one wait and over an hour for another. This is unacceptable in my eyes. Their service is lacking.

Beautiful lake, accessible bathhouse, and wooded RV sites. It was a great get-a-way and fun to be on a farm with gorgeous horses. The nearest town is about a 17 minutes drive away, so bring plenty of food or block out time to drive into town.

Second time at spring ranch with our travel trailer, so it’s kind of obvious that we like the location and the amenities. Staff at the main building are excellent and very helpful, bath house is clean and nice. Kayak rental is perfect and a nice way to spend a fall day, and a good 2 mile loop trail for hiking is enjoyable.

Just visited last weekend for a birthday camp out with my wife and son. The view from the campsite was beautiful! The lake was like glass, and both morning and evening "golden hour" were so stunning, it was hard to do anything besides simply sitting and watching the changing colors. Only five campsites in Site A, so no way for it to get too crowded.

Very beautiful location on the secluded peninsula. Heard an eagle in the trees the first night, as well as some owls once nighttime arrived. The stars were absolutely stunning! We also felt like we were in a magical landscape when we saw the firefly larvae around the edge of the water. At first it was just a couple and then as the night went on we felt like it was an avatar scene and the landscape was aglow. The next morning we saw the most colorful sunrise and fog over the water. As we had breakfast we were blessed to witness a bald eagle hunting over the lake for its own meal!
Then we went on a wonderful hike with tons of beautiful flowers along the way. We saw a herd of goats, some skinks, a chipmunk, a couple of sweet kittens by the General Store, I caught a frog, and watched some pigs bathe in the lake shores edge.
The bathrooms were honestly extremely nice, I was expecting the standard raccoon and wasps nest scenario. Inside though is lovely granite countertops, and heavy wooden stalls. It was also clean at multiple intervals throughout the day.
A magical place for anyone that loves nature and camping. Will 100% recommend to anyone interested in camping.
The site itself was large, well maintained, and pretty private. Also has a lovely wooden bench under some trees, perfect for watching the sunrise/set
