There's a playground for the kids, a dog park for the four-legged kids, and a horseshoe pit for some good old-fashioned family game nights.

You can also purchase a day pass which gives you access to the campground for the entire day, so you can come to check it out ahead of time and see if it's a spot you'd like to spend a weekend.

Whether you're renting a cabin or pulling up in your RV, be sure to bring your swimsuit because the pool area is the star of the show here at Fireside.

The lazy river completely encircles the pool area, and there are multiple pools here, too.

There's a family pool for everyone to enjoy, and then there's the adults-only pool which is where you'll find the swim-up bar.

For even more aquatic adventures, rent a kayak and paddle around the lake for a peaceful day on the water.

You can bring your own kayak or rent one from Fireside. Speaking of rentals, you can also rent golf carts to get around the resort, which makes everything a breeze!
