What visitors say

Bona Vista Campground overlooks Muskrat Lake, and the lake views, clean beach and clear water are what visitors mention first. Some tent sites sit right by the water with plenty of shade, while other sites are on a hill overlooking the park. Many reviewers are seasonal campers who call it a home away from home.

The owners get consistent praise for being welcoming, visible and hands-on, checking in on newcomers and making sure they know what's going on. Showers are described as clean and the grounds well kept. The store is well stocked and affordable for snacks, groceries, ice and slushies. One reviewer noted the attention to safety, with a strictly enforced speed limit and clear signage.

This is a campground built around activities. Reviewers list kids' arts and crafts, bingo, weekend dances, live bands, a community hall with pool, ping pong and air hockey for teens, a playground, a basketball court and an in-ground pool. The lake offers swimming, paddling, boating and fishing, and one camper recommends it for anglers. Tents, trailers and large motorhomes are all accommodated.

It's busy and social, so it suits families more than anyone looking for silence. The rating breakdown includes a notable group of one-star reviews, and one camper said older complaints predate the current owners. One motorhome owner hoped 50-amp service would be added, so confirm your power needs when booking.
