If you registered for a full-hookup sewer site (concrete), you'll be getting a site in the Mini-Golf Section.
If you registered for a water/electric site (grass), you'll be getting a site in Section E, D, or H.

Specific sites will be assigned upon arrival.   Here are some descriptions of each of the sections below.
You can also view this slideshow to see pictures of each of these sections.

  • Section E (43) water/electric sites--  Lakefront sites are grassy with wood picnic tables; Non-lakefront sites are concrete driveways/pads with concrete picnic tables.
  • MiniGolf Section(13) full-hookup sites (water/electric/sewer) --  All have concrete driveway/pads and concrete picnic tables and surround the mini-golf area and are near the outdoor pool. Some of these sites are along the back road of the park.  On the other side of the road is a large cornfield.
  • Section D (27) water/electric sites --  These are large, grassy sites with wood picnic tables along the main entrance road of the park. Directly across the road is a nice, grassy picnic area along the lake, so these are "quieter sites with lake views".  These sites have 1 utility pole shared by 2 sites (so you'll need longer cords if you're the reverse side from the pole).  But each trailer will have it's own 30amp electric outlet.
  • Section H (30) water/electric sites --  These should be considered "overflow" sites.  They are grassy sites further away from the others and surrounded by seasonal campers.  Still nice sites, but not quite as nice as the others.  Each site has a wood picnic table, and 2 sites share 1 utility pole (similar to Section D above).
