I just wanted to let you know how much Peggy and I enjoyed your campground. It is incredibly clean and quiet. We've never stayed at a campground quite like it. Your staff was also very outgoing, helpful, and made us feel like our business mattered to them. Not something you experience every day, especially in a business such as yours. Peggy really enjoyed the Pine , and we managed to keep the top half of the boat dry the entire trip. We'll see you next year. Thanks again.
