Bingo
A Cragun's tradition that was started back in the early days of the resort and it's as popular now as ever. Today, we've added a few new twists to our Bingo nights adding a little more excitement. Cards are free to everyone, so bring the whole family!

Bonfires
Nightly bonfires are held on the beach and bonfires with marshmallow roasts are held twice each week after the horse-drawn trolley rides. It’s a nice way to bring the family together or get to know others staying at the resort. Many long time friendships have had their beginnings around the fire at lakeside. Who knows, maybe we will all get to hear some good stories or start a sing-a-long.

Carnivals
