​Pros:
This family-owned and oriented campground has two small ponds, one for fishing and one for swimming and pedal boats in both.  The park is incredibly green and the sites are spaced out with plenty of room.  When we were there during 4thy of July weekend, the park had arranged a parade of thoroughly decorated golf carts for the kids in the camp, who seemed to love it.  They scooted around the park a half a dozen times with patriotic music blaring from a couple of the carts.  They also provide a tractor=pulled hay ride on the weekend evenings.

The price of this park is very reasonable for a large, clean, comfortable space.

Cons:
Mosquitos!  The ponds on-site and swampy land around the area are breeding grounds and we experienced many bites.   

This is a smaller park with few amenities.  About half of the sites are taken by seasonal renters, which meant that they maintained their own relationships and weren't interested in socializing with us interlopers.  

The lack of sewer hookups in each site is a pain.  They do have a central dumping station on the way out of the campground, which we used, but the opening into the septic tank was overly large and I lost the rubber seal from my Lippert sewer hose when it fell right into it.
