Learn more about alerts →Families with kids get the most out of this place: the sand-bottom swim pond runs June through Labor Day, the playground is right there, and modern sites with 20/30/50 amp hookups handle big rigs without drama. October weekdays are a quieter, cheaper version of the same trip.
No pets allowed, full stop. Also, a handful of reviews describe interactions that felt unwelcoming to campers outside the area's cultural mainstream, so if past experiences at suburban Midwest parks have felt that way for you, that pattern appears here too.
