Why Dexter families camp at The Oaks
Dexter families come out for a weekend that’s all outdoors: mountain bike and golf cart trails, fishing, the Waterloo Recreation Area next door and the Haehnle Bird Sanctuary right on the campground’s border.
Check-in is no-wait so you drive straight to your site, short-term RV and tent sites have a fire pit and picnic table, and the camp store has groceries, ice, firewood, ice cream and bait. See the full list of amenities and activities.
