Group meals: Large table set-ups let you serve a family-style Thanksgiving dinner with plenty of seating.
Kids & activities: Designate a kids’ corner for crafts and games so parents can relax.
Extended celebrations: When guests stay at the campground, your celebration can stretch across the whole weekend — hikes, lakeside walks, and a Saturday night movie or game night in the clubhouse.
Invite guests: Not everyone needs to stay overnight — you can invite local family or friends for the day and still take advantage of the clubhouse amenities.
