🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from all of us at Lantern DeForest!

Pull in, sit back, and relax as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. Spend the weekend enjoying the outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, cooling off in the pool, and gathering around the fire for good food and great company.

We’re also extending our pool hours until 8 PM daily!☀️

Wishing all of our campers a safe, fun, and relaxing Independence Day. ❤️🤍💙
