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.
