Beautiful camp! Very clean and looks new. Beds were comfy and we had enough beds and room for the 7 of us. Kitchen has all the essentials you need. Washer & dryer came in handy. We loved the view of the water and shipping channel. We had a constant breeze on the balcony which was so nice just to sit and relax. We were able to fish off the dock. David was very easy to communicate with whenever I messaged him. I would definitely recommend this nice camp which is more like a Lake House. The area we were in all had beautiful camps and well kept up.

Can’t wait to go back

The camp was gorgeous!! The bed was so comfy, lots of kitchen items we needed were there, the few that weren’t, we were able to run down to Brown’s grocery to pick up. The owner was amazing to communicate with. We decided to make this an annual trip!!
