Beautiful and peaceful location. Full hook up with many other amenities. The site was as described and to be honest better than expected. Hosts provide a clean and very well maintained spot. Plenty of open land to walk and just a short drive into a populated town. The hosts are very nice and the hospitality was amazing. Hosts went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and well taken care of. Overall a very pleasant experience. Will be returning for longer stays in the future. Highly recommend.

Johnathan’s spot totally exceeded my expectations. This is a terrific spot for RVers, given the available hookups. I just had a roof tent, but the extra high carport kept everything from getting wet in a blow-through rainstorm, and the fire pit was a lovely way to wind down after a long day on the road. I highly recommend the breakfast add-on to get a little fuel in you. It’s nothing fancy, but it is tasty and delivered when you need it. It’s a beautiful, quiet property — wish I’d stayed longer than one night to explore the trails around the property. Also, my dog loved it.

Dwight gave us great directions to avoid the back country roads which made getting there easier than GPS was going to get us there. We enjoyed the quiet country setting at Happy Campers. Dwight was friendly and checked with us each day when we were fishing to see if we needed anything. My favorite was his kitty that seemed to greet each quest at their site as they arrived. She loved to spend time with us around the pond watching the ducks and snuggle by the fire in the evening. We definitely enjoyed her company! We will be back when the fish are biting! Thanks Dwight!

Monroe Lake Campground

A beautiful camping spot and is quiet in the spring. We camped before the summer season so the facilities were still locked. The site we had right off the lake was very pretty and relaxing, especially serene in the morning.
