When you pull into Willow Lake, you will see the lake on your right, you continue around a few corners and you enter your first loop of campgrounds, this is where the Kinsella’s’ camp. You continue around this loop and you enter into the second loop where the Meeker’s camp. As soon as the families get there, the kids are running out of the cars to go and play, they don’t come back around until it is time to come and eat dinner or if they are tattling on another kid. As the week carries on, plenty more people show up. Throughout the first couple days parents just sit around and catch up on life.
