The Story
Bill
and Marge Davis had the dream of creating a place
where families like their own could spend time
together in the outdoors. They dreamed of the
giggles of small children as they jumped into a pool
and the peacefulness of taking a nap underneath a
big shade tree. They visualized small boys with
fishing poles over their shoulders walking to the
lake. They could even smell fried potatoes,
scrambled eggs, and bacon cooking on a Coleman
stove.

In 1966 with 5
kids and a hole in their pockets, Bill and Marge invested all
they had and purchased land in Galena, Ohio. The dream was
shared with their children, and year after year, improvement
after improvement, Berkshire Lake Campground grew to what it is
today. What began as open land a few rustic camp sites is now
81 acres of primarily wooded area with over 300 full service
lots. If you walk around the lake, chances are you'll see a
fish jump - and if you stop by the office you'll hear a splash
as someone jumps into the pool. |

Forty
years later, thousands of families have visited their
dream! Today, you can hear the laughter of children and
the crackle of a campfire. You can enjoy a lazy
afternoon under a shade tree, walk to the lake and drop
a line, or pitch a game of horseshoes. Bill and Marge,
their children, and even some of their grandchildren are
still here making sure that their family dream continues
on so that your family has a fun, safe place to enjoy
the outdoors. While here, you might even meet some of
those giggling kids who were here in 1966. Berkshire
Lake Campground has become a family tradition, not only
for the Davis's, but for all those baby boomers who now
come with their children and grandchildren. |
