This camping spot offers a peaceful retreat with beautiful waterfront options and plenty of activities like kayaking and fishing. Many reviewers appreciated the spaciousness and privacy of the sites, as well as the presence of friendly animals like goats and chickens. The host, Charles, is frequently mentioned as welcoming and helpful, ensuring a positive experience for campers. However, some guests noted challenges with site conditions after rain and limited signage, which can make navigation tricky.

Hillside lakefront
Arrived after dark and didn’thave any guidance on finding my site, so took a wild guess on which was mine. Turns out I was wrong, BUT the host was really great about it. He offered to let me stay where I was, but encouraged me to check out the site I’d actually reserved, the Hillside Lakefront site, which ended up being much more tucked away in the woods while keeping the gorgeous lake view - exactly what I was looking for. The short walk to the barn bathroom with toilet & sink were a very welcome amenity, and the occasional visit at my site from the goats and a couple hens was rather cute. As a single traveler on this particular trip, I felt completely safe and would visit again!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay! The Peninsula Site is perfect for direct access to the lake and very spacious. The weekend was cut short by pending rain unfortunately, but we got a lot of fishing and relaxation in which was needed. Charles welcomed us upon arrival and made sure to see if we needed anything. Thank you!

We had a lovely time! It's a beautiful property with tons of spacious options. Host was very chill and helpful. I would recommend certain locations be avoided if it rained recently if you don't have a 4WD vehicle due to some mud hills, but most of the campsites are accessible in all weather. If you're looking for a peaceful trip with beautiful water, this is your place!

We stayed here for 3 nights, while our area experienced a Nor' easter. The weather was perfect and the location was also beautiful. Full views of the pond. Literally across the way from the lake. We fished and enjoyed the complimentary kayaks. Charles was very accommodating and the goats and chickens were fun to watch. They never came close to the camp, maybe because we had our pups with us. We will be back. Thank you Charles

Secluded Camp - Treasure Cove
Tent ·
Treasure Cove
I stayed at Treasure’s Cove, and it was an extremely secluded spot with plenty of space on a lake. However, because it’s so secluded there’s not really any grass, and there was poison ivy throughout the site. The poison ivy was under the picnic table to the point that we couldn’t sit there, so that was a bummer. I think more signage or a map at the beginning would be helpful because I was never able to find the flush toilet.

Pine Cove
We had a great time camping here! The campsites and amenities were clean and well maintained, and we especially enjoyed having access to the kayaks at no additional cost. It was a little difficult to navigate the property when we first arrived due to limited signage, but once we got our bearings, it was fun exploring the lake and surrounding woods. One minor issue was that the provided firewood was left uncovered, so unfortunately, ours was too wet to burn. We were able to forage some dry wood ourselves, which worked out perfectly. Overall, this is a great spot for family fun and enjoying the outdoors. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing camping experience with plenty of opportunities to explore!

Rustic** City Escape (Safety Iffy)
Tent ·
Dam Cove
This private campground is in a lovely location, although it may be more known/orientated and booked from younger, and immature campers, whom hoarded the kayaks for our entire trip, keeping them on their site without them being in use. The campsites are spacious, my group stayed at bears cove-great place to catch a sunset. I would recommend the landing and the penensula site as top choices. Our campsite was poorly maintained and had loads of widow makers and hazard trees. Had a storm came through on our trip, we would have been in quite the precarious/ dangerous situation to be in. Although the sites were quite close, it was just fine. Overall it was a nice trip, although this site is truly more for city folk looking to escape and if one doesnt mind the rustic feel. The animals were super friendly and the fishing although not the best, had some nice sized blue gills.

We had such an amazing stay and Charles even accommodated a site change due to a cancellation. The lake was absolutely wonderful and very clean, so very good for swimming etc. This will definitely be a spot for recurring visits to get away and enjoy the lakeside amenities.

The site was very calming sitting between the lake and the pond. The pavilion provided excellent cover for the storms that passed through. Charles is a very gracious host and very helpful with directing us on the amenities provided. Loved the goats and chickens that greeted us each time we went up the hill. It was an excellent camping experience for our family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time camping! Charles is a great host. We rented the peddle boat for two days, no luck on fishing, but we had fun trying. The free kayaks were nice, especially for us as beginners, the lake was perfect. It's not a swimming lake though, or at least while we were there. This place is so beautiful. Thank you, Charles!

Very friendly host and beautiful property. The sites were far enough apart to enjoy some privacy. My daughter loved the goats and chickens wandering around. There seemed to be plenty of kayaks to go around but the camp would benefit from having some extra paddles around as it seemed some were missing/broken. Overall, would recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful lakeside getaway.

We loved our stay at the private pavilion! We opted to use it as our shelter, so we could easily keep our dogs enclosed. All the animals are friendly, the lakeside is beautiful, our fresh eggs were delicious. Friendly & welcoming host, although I felt terrible my dogs barked at him every time he tried to come by to say hello. We’d definitely love to stay again!

I been to so many camping sites within two years. This is the best one, I have ever seen! I love it and enjoy it. I choose lake site 2. It has a beautiful lake view that I can enjoy during daytimes. I really want to stay here for a week. The host is here very nice. He provided free kayaks and life jackets for us. I definitely will come back again with my team, and will tell everyone I know, and let them come here!
