We enjoyed camping here. It is primitive in comparison to some campgrounds in that there is no internet or cable, which we enjoyed. It was good to disconnect for awhile. One thing that is very awesome is good spacing between each site. The spacing was greater on the perimeter sites than ones closest to the pool. There is a small concession stand attached to a pavillion that sells snowballs, t-shirts and a few floaties in the front near the pool.
There are two camping areas: the front surrounding the pool and the back surrounding a lake. If you're looking to entertain yourselves and children, the pool area is great. If you're looking for peace and quiet, the lake spots are very appealing.
The entire camping area is surrounded by tall pines, which made the camping very nice, plus it was virtually bug-free. Not saying there weren't any bugs, but we were not bothered immensely by mosquitoes or other bugs. The woods were filled with lightning bugs at night, which was awesome!
The pool is very large with a lifeguard lookout in the middle. On one side there is the zip line and large raft and on the other is the volleyball net, fountain and kiddie pool. You can swim at anytime, but the lifeguard is available only during the day.
The campground is surrounded by New Zealand Red deer. They are nice and the kids love them. The deer do not walk through the campground, to my knowledge anyway. They are enclosed in a fence the encircles the camping area. The deer do graze around the lake area in the back of the property.
The campground is in a pretty remote area. It takes a few minutes to get to Tylertown, it's not around the corner, so if you need a few things from the store, you better make sure you get a good list before you go.
It would help if there was more signage around the campground, such as lifeguard hours, concession stand hours. The concession stand had plenty of room to become a real store. I'm looking forward to that.
