FUNDRAISING AT LONE OAK
2021 Season
WE ARE HONORED TO ANNOUNCE THAT DURING OUR 2021 SEASON, WE RAISED A GRAND TOTAL OF $20,340
Lone Oak Campsites is proud to support the many local charities by holding fundraising events throughout the year. Through events such as Wishes on Wheels, Christmas in August Gift Basket Raffle, Tie Dying activities and more, we hope to help people in the local community.
Gianna made a wish in 2014, which was granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Lone Oak Campsites is very excited that Gianna's wish is to camp with her family here for the entire 2014 season. Lone Oak Campsites, the staff, and all our campers have been strong supporters of the Make-A-Wish foundation since 2008 and we are happy that a Wish Kid has come to Lone Oak Campsites!
