Some mention

"Campers overwhelmingly praise Cranberry Bay Campground for being clean, well‑maintained, and family friendly, with spacious sites (many lakefront), a beach, pool, playgrounds, hiking trails and frequent special events (Fall Festival, Halloween, Rock on the Lake). Hosts and staff are described as helpful, the site layout and signage make navigation easy, and amenities include electric hookups (one reviewer charged a Tesla), a camp store with Perry's ice cream, and a new dog park."
