Weekend Trip to Great Times Camp Ground
Had a blast with a bunch of friends. Decent size piece of land with a lake/pond. We used 2 cabins. Plenty of picnic tables to use. Bathrooms are only a short walk from the cabins.
Will was very accommodating.
I'm sure we will be back.

I recently spent a weekend at Great Times Camp Ground through Hipcamp, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, relaxed, and totally immersed in nature—yet with every comfort I needed.
What stood out:
• Peaceful & Scenic Setting
The campsites are nestled in beautiful woods, with plenty of privacy. Waking up to birdsong and filtered sunlight through the trees immediately recharged me.
• Well-Kept Grounds & Amenities
The entire site is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. Paths are easy to find, sites are level and spacious, and facilities (restrooms, water points, etc.) are all in good shape. It strikes a great balance: rustic enough to feel like real camping, but convenient enough to feel comfortable.

Great site. Would definitely return. Site is mostly soft grass with some small gravel on the high traffic areas, plenty of space, and right along a nice creek. There's some activity from the public canoe launch nearby, but it's overall nice and private. Only wish would be having the porta potty closer.

I’m a repeat camper and have enjoyed both sites at this location. Highly recommend staying when the beer garden is open. And go for a swim if you can, the water is lovely. Great site. We’ll be back again!

We loved tent camping at Creekside Grill! The open lean-to structure was the perfect place for stashing our cooler and bags so that we had plenty of extra room in our tent. It would also be very handy in case of rain. We took the kayaks and spent a few hours exploring downstream. The water was cold and clear and deep enough for a nice swim on a hot day. We booked a Sunday and Monday and walked down to the Beer Garden in Sunday afternoon for live music, drinks, and dinner from a food truck. The campsite was far enough from the Beer Garden that the noise wouldn't have bothered us. It was so quiet and peaceful, especially at night with moonlight shining on the water and the sound of an owl up in the trees. We also saw a heron, a local swan, and a hawk in the tree above the porta potty. Also, the Porta Potty was very clean! We will definitely come back for a longer stay next summer.

We are returning to this site third year in a row. Beautiful location, fun place to be with kids because the water is clean and shallow for swimming. Plus there are all sizes of kayaks available to use. The hosts are great and very friendly, responding right away. We will definitely be back!!

What an amazing spot! You can tell its well loved and taken care of - the fire pit with the flatish boulders framing it is so well thought out. The swing too was such a nice place to relax and having multiple picnic benches made it so easy to unpack setup and relax. Could not beat the views of the creek and it was so easy to get on the water to cool off. Planning on being back next year if not sooner 10/10

Sooo many pros and few cons to this site. I would say that finding the site with the provided directions was hard ish for us — enter from Mortonville Road and head down the gravel drive where all of the trespassing signs are posted at the gate. If you’re the site with the shack, turn right at the T. If you have a low car (like mine, Honda Fit), you may scrape the bottom of your car a little. But this turned out fine!
The last cons I’ll mention are that they came to clean the porta-potty at 7 am on Sunday, which stunk. A rumbling truck rolling through camp that early was not ideal. I don’t know how common that is but worth mentioning. There was also loud music on Saturday night. The posting mentions Sundays, but there was a live band until around 10 pm Saturday that we couldn’t NOT hear.
But back to the pros which were myriad:
- the river is amazing, you cannot beat the access to water
- the shack / overhang building is amazing and such a convenience
- tons of tables and shared space
- perfect fire pit, one of the best I have experienced TBH
- plenty of shaded space to put your tents as close or far apart as you want
- beautiful boardwalk through a marsh
- lovely wildlife like great blue herons, MANY songbirds, frogs, fish
- pretty private but you share the river
- bring your floaties 🛟
- everything was well-kept and well-organized
- everyone we interacted with was very nice
We would absolutely return! Loved it 🥰

Great times was exactly what we needed! We had a group of 18 people and everyone had an amazing time. There was plenty of space for everyone to set up camp and tons of equipment for playing games (soccer, basketball, gaga, etc). The sprinkler area was perfect for cooling off after playing games in the hot sun. The surrounding area is great too for a more casual camping experience, as there are plenty of shops and restaurants within driving distance. All in all, I highly recommend Great Times Campground.
