I would like information on renting a cabin in the summer of 2018. It would be for two people. One person is a first time camper, the other has been camping before.

Hi. We were wondering if there would be a cabin available, Aug 18th – Aug 20th,2018? It’s just for a short stay. The cabin would have to be in the Fort Custer Campground area.

I love this place! It’s clean and the staff is efficient. The sites are mostly well shaded and private. Three lakes to play with and a very very well kept beach.
