Arthur B.
The cabins were cozy and spotless, with good beds, showers, and electricity, and the facilities had plenty of room. I also found the week of activities fun, interesting, and memorable. I really enjoyed my time there, but the food was so awful that it knocked two stars off my rating. For a campsite that does so well in almost every other area, that was a huge letdown.

We can't wait to get married here. The setting is gorgeous, from the drive in to the rustic-looking cabins and buildings. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and patiently answered all our many questions. The price felt fair and worth the trip out. We'd definitely recommend it 😊

The nature trail was fabulous, and winter here is a great chance to explore the outdoors. Cabins are comfy and the facilities are good, though this isn't five-star luxury. It's a five-star nature experience, with skiing nearby and great spots for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. We even had fun howling at the coyotes and hearing them howl back.

We'd happily come back. Both my kids loved Christmas in the woods at the Ecology center, and there were activities planned throughout our weekend for us to join in. I'd read complaints about the food, but we thought it was tasty and affordable. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner there, and enjoyed them all.

That top bunk was a struggle for me and some of the other students. I even fell off once while reaching to snooze my alarm 😆 Still, my highschool credit camp here was amazing. I had lots of friends and fun activities, and with the right people and plans it felt really comfortable. I love it there, and somehow I felt homesick even after I got back home! Maybe I'm a little biased, and lol, me writing a review might freak some people out. That's what two weeks of camp does to you 🤣
