“A superb stay at The Camp!”
Thanks so much for having me! My tidy little cabin was the perfect spot for 4 nights over Easter! Camp kitchen and bathroom, covered all needs well. This superb setting, surrounded by trees next to the lake, felt peaceful and spacious even during a busy Easter. With numerous seating options and bean bags available to enjoy lakeside views. But the jewel in the crown was the small bar and eatery that offered perfect small menu options for all tastes, and outdoor tables chairs and beanbags that encouraged patrons to stay and enjoy their meal, while children were able to explore the playground next door. This area created a real sense of community, a hub for socializing and a natural area to gravitate to throughout the day as well... Musicians performed and Easter activities were organized throughout the camp for children enhancing the feeling of linking community. And I would very much recommend The Camp to all.
