Weekend Schedule
Embark on a Journey of Joy and Discovery Every Weekend at South Isle Family Campground!
Over the years, we’ve done various potlucks and cook outs with our campers and in 2023 we got to talking with many of our campers about different potluck style things we could do. We came up with a list of items that we thought we’d try in 2026. We invite all of our campers to join us when these activities are listed on the schedule. The following is a list of weekends and the potluck item that has been chosen for that weekend.
South Isle is thrilled to bring you an array of signature experiences designed to make every weekend unforgettable. Dive into the heart of adventure with our beloved Rainbow Express Train Rides and Wagon Rides, explore the playful competition of Frisbee Golf, and aim for victory in our Horseshoe Tournaments.
Each weekend, we’re rolling out a tapestry of Featured Activities, meticulously crafted to ensure that your time with us is filled with moments of joy, connection, and exploration. From themed festivities to hands-on nature activities, there’s something special for every camper, every weekend.
Don’t Miss Out: Check our Adventure Calendar now and plan your getaway to coincide with our exclusive weekend highlights. South Isle isn’t just a destination; it’s your gateway to creating memories that last a lifetime.
