Grass on site not mowed. Not much room on site once RV is set and picnic table is put into place. First step into RV was about 15-18 inches off ground due to site being on a slant. A certain children's activity was set for noon on Saturday, which was run earlier without any notification, so my granddaughters missed out.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. It is always difficult when one has disappointed a guest, and we are so sorry that we have disappointed you and your family. We were aware of the activity snafu, so we did send a member of our activity team up immediately to repeat the activity. I'm sorry that we missed you both times. Yikes! In any event, we appreciate your taking the time to provide valuable feedback. We wish you many, many happier camping experiences.

Our dog was in pure heaven and the kids keep asking to go back ! Make sure to reserve well in advance. It can be a bit pricey for the lodging but I was the only adult with kids so if you have more than one adult, the cost would be more spread out. Lovely to be in nature.

Keen Lake is without a doubt a beautiful and wonderful place to spend with family or alone. The grounds are impeccable, the staff is extremely friendly, courteous and address problems right away. Keen Lake has an atmosphere of “home feeling”.. would definitely continue to go there. Amenities are wonderful.

Had an absolutely fantastic time at Keen Lake! The staff was friendly and helpful, the park was clean, organized and well maintained and the events for our kids were often, fun and well planned. Speaking with Janet briefly during one of the kids events was a pleasure. We will absolutely be back next season.

This is our second time glamping here with our kids, friends, and their kids - first trip was 2020. We have also tent camped here, always a great time! We go to enjoy the lake and each other, hiking nearby. Everything is CLEAN and well taken care of. Even our "I don't do camping" friends were comfortable and can't wait to come back. Thank you for your outstandingly polite and personable staff, mix that with clean and well cared for properties, and it's a win! Looking to enjoy many more years coming here!

This lake resort is wonderful! We had a perfect RV site right on the lake. The campground is meticulously kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. We rented an Aqua Cycle and pedaled around the lake. We highly recommend a visit to the Keen Lake Camping and Cottage Resort!

We had a nice time at the lake resort. The park was clean and well maintained. Everyone was very friendly. The only item to bring to the attention to management is the bathroom/shower buildings with the one shower should have a lock on the door for privacy and security. When using the facilities others just walked in.

Back again for our Labor Day Weekend camping trip. We go basic lakeside in the Pioneer Section (no water or electric hookups, although those are available if you want). We love coming back to the campground because it is just right. The lakeside sites are very nice and fishing from the shore is fun. The camp store has all the basics plus more so no need to go elsewhere. But close by there is a supermarket, beer distributor and dollar general if you need. The people running the campground (the Keen sisters and all of the workers) are super friendly and accommodating. There are plenty of on the lake activities if you wish (boating, paddle boats and a beach) and also off lake (a pool, playgrounds, ceramics). Sunday night tops off with a Karaoke show down and dance. The Pioneer section has two bathhouses with showers (basic but functional) and a few outhouses. We have a great time each time and are looking forward to next summer.…
