Great little campground. fishing in the summer, loads of yearly activities, and you never know what you’ll find in the camp store! perfect for antique shoppers, outdoorsy people, or anyone in between.

We are finishing up our 6th year of seasonal camping at Acorn Oaks. We absolutely love it here!

The owner (Nancy) works hard to keep the campground nicely manicured and clean. She goes out of her way to accommodate and makes each and every stay comfortable. She has a nice camp store that has just about anything you are looking for during your stay. The store also carries numerous knick-knacks and antiques which are available for purchase as well.

There is pool, ping pong and a few arcade games available in the rec room. There is a pond for fishing and wooded trails for walking, bicycling or golf cart riding. There is a playground for the kids. Special activities are planned for the holiday weekends. We look forward to our weekend stays and to visiting with the many friends we have made over the years.

Thank you Nancy!

I use to have a camper on lot E1 from 1996 to 98. The original people that owned it were nice and hard working. He passed away in 97 and she dumped it off to some nasty old woman named Brooksie. She ran it into the ground.

So now these new owners are very nice and by the looks of the campground very hard working.

I will come here many times in 2016

Thanks

Can’t beat this place for quite family camping. Lots of activities for every one, including prize bingo.

Clean rest rooms, store is great has every thing at near Walmart prices won’t go broke here.

Store is also like mini flea market something different every weekend.

Has great wooded sites with a couple small walking trails.

We very much enjoy staying at Acorn Oaks, nice location just far away from civilization to be a true get away.

Well-kept park with nice electric and water service.

Very nice bath house and store.

We will be visiting very often.
