Lake Shore

Great place to camp and relax

What a great place to spend some time and get back to nature. The land was beautiful and well maintained. The Lake side camping spot we stayed at was just awesome, great view and no artificial lighting at all. The sites caretaker had the area ready for us with firewood we ordered delivered and stacked by the fire ring. We enjoyed the hiking trail and fishing.

While maps may not take you exactly there it gets you close enough and the red gate is clearly marked. Plenty of room to roam nice and peaceful place to kick back and relax.

Camp Strong Wood

Camp Strongwood was a great group site getaway. There are a lot of lodging options. It’s surprisingly private with the wooded areas while simultaneously feeling open and accessible to get to the lake or common area for meals. It’s beautiful and peaceful! Campground groundskeeper, Chris, is incredibly thoughtful and goes above and beyond as a generous host. He is the cherry on top of the sundae! I look Forward to my next trip to Strongwood.
