Little Girl Dropping Off Her Letter to Santa at Holiday Lights at the Lake

Letters to Santa

Holiday Lights at the Lake is proud to be chosen as a designated "Letters to Santa" drop off location for the fourth year running.

We like to think it's because we are always "nice" and very responsible, however, we think it may also be because Santa loves to visit

West Overlook Campground during the off season.

Bring your letters to Santa and we will make sure they get to the North Pole via The North Pole Air Mail system.
