We had a really nice stay at the Hemlock Acres Campground and met one of the owners, Rudy. We had the opportunity to walk around the campgrounds and check out some of the other campsites, RV sites and lodges. Whether you are with the Boy or Girl Scouts, a church group, or a club, this could be the right place for your group in any season. They also have facilities ideal for your company or church picnics with a swimming pool, picnic pavilion and hay wagon rides. They have plenty of fishing nearby, whether you're into serious flyfishing, or just like to sit by the creek.
