Really well kept campground. Very clean and the host were very friendly and helpful.
Next time we’ll have to check out one of the lakeside sites, they looked awesome.

Absolutely gorgeous views everywhere you look. The sunsets were breathtaking as it went down over the lake. The spot we had was so spacious and steps to the water. We had plenty of room to spread out and cook on the fire. There were lots of places to fish which was great even though we didn't catch anything. Bathhouses were clean, playground was fun for the kiddos, and firewood was plentiful. We had an excellent stay getting away from it all and we will definitely be back!!

Did not realize how cold it can get in November. We had to cut short our stay there on account of the tent was not made for cold weather. But overall everything was great. We will be back in warmer weather for sure.

This is a hidden Gem! We were along the river and it was beautiful. The campsites in the wooded area are very beautiful also. It is a drive to get to, but worth it. Bring your fishing boat or canoe. There is a beach there. It was too cold for us to swim. The foggy mornings on the river were absolutely gorgeous! Either bring your own firewood or be prepaired to hunt for it. There is none for sale at the park. I saw tons of turtles and even an otter swims along the shore. There is no cell phone service in the park. The front host does have a satellite phone for emergencies.

I love the place. I have camped there for 20 years. Only down side is no cell service. Not the parks fault.

Very seclude campground with no cell service. Only 35 sites with 8 on the waterfront and 27 in the hollow. Very secure campground with keyed entry. Due to covid many of the services were not offered, beach & laundry closed. Host were friendly and numerous for such a small campground. Facilities were ok.
