Hidden Acres Family Campground - Great playground for the kids

We loved this place. We stayed the second weekend in June. Apparently that is before the season…read morereally starts because the kids are still in school. We got there on Thursday and it was so quiet and wide open. We figured that the weekend would not be quiet because families would be there with kids enjoying themselves. It was noisier but it still wasn't very noisy. Exception would be the dogs. There were a lot of big dogs making big noise. The trees are beautiful and the landscaping is truly amazing. They have landscaped every part of this campground and made the small attention to details really beautiful. Our campsite was very spacious and it was treed so we had shade and Sun. It was the quickest check-in that we have ever experienced. What really impressed me was that they drove around with a water sprayer more than once a day to wet down the roads and alleviate dust. There was a pirate ship that picked up children and drove them around the campground. There was a wagon ride around the campground. And you could put your trash out at one in the afternoon and they would come pick it up. I've never experienced that before. The campground is immaculate and very well-kept. The Wi-Fi is not so good but then again you were camping. We are definitely planning on coming back here.

Very disappointed with this campsite and the rules they enforce. Clearly super prejudice towards…read morespecific dogs breeds that may look more intimidating than others. I'm just extremely confused on why we still have these stigmas in 2025 and think it needs to be changed. Dogs attitudes are a product of the owners training. Just because a specific dog breed needs more stimulation, enrichment and training to behave correctly does not mean all dogs that belong to that breed are aggressive. Unless you have a golden retriever, i'd steer clear of this place.

Our family camped from Thur-Sat night! We had so much fun…read more The location is super clean, the staff is super friendly (except for one lady). They have everything you could possible need for a fun family weekend. Each site has water, fire pit, picnic table. The sites are clean, and the place is well maintained. For the most part the other campers are friendly. Pool, playground, game room, crafts, and theme weekend's make this the perfect getaway!! A few things : The closest WM is 30 minutes away, so bring everything you need. The mini golf needs some updating. But, this may be on their to do (as the playground is brand new). No one messes with your stuff as everyone is coming and going from activities. Bring firewood and a grate if you want to cook on open flame. Ticks are full blown this season, so bring tons of spray! Showers .25 /7 minutes! To camp staff, start charging people if they leave litter. We spent plenty of time collecting trash up and down the hill. It's a shame that anyone would find it acceptable considering the staff works so hard to keep it clean! (Personal family motto when it comes to the outdoors "Leave it cleaner than when you found it") (If you wonder why 5 stars... I always rate on the amount of fun my family had, cleanliness, and staff attitudes. I couldn't care less about petty ridiculous menial things)

Cable vision (-) neg. wifi awful and dog pond should have one side for small dogs and the other…read moreside for big dogs. But Staffs worked there are fantastic. No words! They are excellent friendly. Understanding. Listen how we feel and share thing ideas feed back. Love this place and keep up with your good work!

I was just here this past weekend for a music festival, and this was the perfect venue for it…read more The grounds are gorgeous, with plenty of space for camping. Lots of waterfront camping space, but if you actually want to be able to sleep in on those hot summer mornings there's also lots of space in the wooded areas to camp. Everything was really clean upon arrival (as clean as it can be for being a camping area) and was kept as such throughout the weekend. Not an easy task when you have 500+ people traipsing around. There's two sets of restrooms (with running water) and the ones at the front also have 2 showers in each bathroom (mens and womens). The showers were much great, hot and good water pressure. There's also a concession area right as you arrive at the campground which carries smaller items (sunglasses, waters, etc) and are super reasonably priced. The only downfall is that you can't swim in the lake (at least not when I was there), but it's a bit murky so I'm not sure if one would want to. They do rent out paddleboats and canoes though for $50 a day with a $50 refundable deposit. There's also some pretty good fishing in the lake. One of my favorite things about this place was the fact that the owner, John, was always on hand. Interacting with patrons, making sure things were running smoothly. He really did a great job of making us feel welcomed. I'll definitely be returning next year :D

We have spent the last three years during 4th of July weekend at Camp Echo Lake, and we love it…read more Everyone is friendly and the staff do their best to make sure your stay is enjoyable. The kiddies love it and so do I. Thank you Camp Echo Lake.
