Lone Oak Campsites

Nice Campground clean, probably the biggest campsite area I've ever had . They do offer activities throughout the day. As far as nearby activities it's mostly hiking and visiting small towns. The nearest bike path is about 30 minutes away. There are two pools on the campsite. It's quiet and plenty of room to walk your dog. There's a little creek that runs nearby as well. Everybody was friendly. It's an old Campground and a lot of the people who are there are seasonal. We stayed four nights and enjoyed going to all the towns nearby. We also hiked few trails. Excellent wifi.

We seriously love it at Lone Oak. It’s one of those places where the kids are off having fun all day and you actually get to relax a little too. There’s always something going on, which I love. Between the playgrounds, the pond, the river, themed weekends, concerts, and food trucks, it never feels repetitive. The kids stay busy and excited, and every weekend feels a little different. The pool is great, and the hot tub at the end of the night is a nice bonus after a long day outside. It just has such an easy, family feel to it. We look forward to going every weekend.

We stayed here from Friday, August 8th through Monday, August 11th (with a 2 pm checkout). Positives: • Staff was friendly and helpful. • Pool was clean and never overcrowded. Negatives: • Tent sites are located in the far back wooded area, which is fine in itself — but with what seemed like 50+ tent sites, there’s only one nearby bathhouse with 3 toilet stalls and 2 shower stalls. That’s nowhere near enough. We sometimes waited an hour just to shower, which is extremely difficult with young kids. The shower stalls are very small, making it hard to wash children, and while it’s 25¢ for 8 minutes of hot water, ours wasn’t actually hot. • Only a couple of porta-potties are available in the tent area, but they were full, smelled terrible, and the one nearest to us wouldn’t even latch shut. • The biggest issue: bears. Nowhere on the website, during booking, or on-site signage did it mention that bears regularly roam the campground. This wasn’t a rare “once-in-a-while” sighting — they came through multiple times a day and night, right onto our site. On our last night, around 3:30 am, a bear brushed against my tent while my 6-year-old and I were inside. It then tried to get into our gazebo area (where there was no food — only a cooler with ice and water). This was terrifying, and made it impossible to relax or let the kids play freely. • Staff members admitted they’re aware of the bear problem, and we saw them chasing bears away with golf carts, yet it’s not disclosed to guests in advance. Because of the bear incident Sunday night into Monday morning, we ended up packing up first thing Monday instead of staying until the 2 pm checkout. We essentially lost the last day we paid for and spent the whole weekend on edge, unable to fully relax or let the kids enjoy themselves. Camping in the woods comes with wildlife, and we understand that — but frequent, bold bear encounters without warning or proper prevention measures are unacceptable, especially for families with children. Sadly, while the staff and pool were nice, the bathroom situation and constant bear presence made our stay stressful instead of relaxing, and we won’t be returning.

What a fun time I had with my family at Lone Oaks! I stayed in the Birches cabin with my two friends while my daughters and their families tent camped next to me in the two spots directly next to us. There was so much for us and the grandkids to do ! We loved the playground, the dodge ball games, sharks and minnows, the pool party (two of the grandkids won a prize!) the hayride and the camp store! It was fun to get a golf cart and drive around and see all the ways campers decorate their sites. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The staff is friendly and helpful. The camp store carries ice $3 and firewood $8 .. The Birches cabin itself was just the right size.. a full bed and two sets of bunks. You’ll need to bring your own bedding, but we just each brought a sleeping bag and a pillow. There were plenty of plugs for charging phones etc. we brought an air fryer and a crock pot and an extra fan. There is a small fridge and a coffee pot, a toaster and a microwave. Stop and Shop is just three miles up the road, with a Family Dollar next to it.. there’s a McDonald’s not far past that.. and a cute diner called Collins. We discovered a BIG vintage/thrift store a little past that called FLEA AT 99 .. and down the road a yummy smoothie place called HOMEGROWN! The chai cinnamon protein smoothie is delicious! They are both on Railroad Street. I truly had so much fun with my friends and family ! Seeing the grandkids laughing and playing and enjoying just being outside making memories was the best part ! We can’t wait to come back and do it again!

Had an amazing week camping with my family, everyone is so kind here! We tented and the tent loop is pretty and well laid out and tucked far away from the camper generator noise/lights etc. The group events are held pretty often daily and low pressure to hop in and out of. Having the on site convenience store with basic food items hot and cold were great in a pinch! Rent a golf cart, worth the cost, exploring in it with my 7 and 10 year old daughters was a highlight! Riding bikes around was great too, lots to see! The creek, pool and hot tub were clean and inviting. The playground and pond were nice hangs as well. I’ll be back
