Happy Campers- Great Place Gainesville, FL
Review Submitted: August 13, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had a great family get-together at this location. Cabins are great. The description in the listing is accurate. Plenty to do: swimming, boating, biking and campfire fun. Found the location very relaxing in a wonderful private setting. Owner provided excellent customer service and checked in at various times throughout our stay. Have definently recommended it to family and friends. Look forward to our next stay here. This lake is a skiable lake. Brought our jetskis and boat and had a fantastic time!!
