We had a phenomenal time during our Halloween weekend stay. The staff was wonderful. Alysa was an amazing activity leader!! We appreciated all her help and interaction with the kids. There were TONS of activities to keep the kids engaged and I felt they were all very well organized. We had a wonderful trip and definitely will be back! The grounds were very clean, everything is well kept. The family sites are great, more room, nice table and chairs set up. We stayed in the Cindy Bear cabin and loved it.

Overall experience was good. Only complaint was the bathrooms. I was there Friday-Sunday and you could tell they were not cleaned. Hair on the floor in the showers, a sanitary napkin wrapper on the floor, sinks were dirty and it was like that the whole time. We didn’t except the pool to still be open being the first weekend in October in Michigan, so be sure to check. (Our fault for not checking) it was hot and would have been nice to use the pool. Halloween activities were fun. Great place for families.
