Camp at Skands

Skands Campground is the perfect mix of relaxation, family fun, and adventure. Imagine waking up just steps from the pristine lakefront, coffee in hand as you sit at the beach and watch the campground come to life, your boat tied up at the dock and ready to take the kids for a rip around the lake. Or maybe it is pedalling your bike up to the trails while the rest of the family is still asleep. Or maybe it truly is, the early bird gets the worm, getting out on the boat when the fish are biting. Ending the day sitting around the campfire as a family, young and old, eating s’mores and sharing stories about the day at the lake.
