Beautiful park and very well kept. However, the only suggestion I can give is to limit the time of the gas leaf blower. I truly appreciate keeping the leaves and debris off campsites, but this trip it seemed that the blower started its noise about 9am and was intermittent into the late afternoon. It does resonate clearly through the park and we do enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Thank you.

Best camp ground! The RV sites have separate decks that overlook the ravine or the lake. Absolutely beautiful, clean and you are not parked side by side with other campers. So inexpensive and beautiful. You dont even have to think about it, go!

Site 35 was excellent! The level pad, deck/balcony overlooking the lake, and nice fire-pit / grill area were perfect for our 38’ travel trailer. The staff was super friendly. Free firewood was available as a bonus. We walked and biked the park roads and paved trails, and even ventured a small amount on the un paved trails. The fishing pier below our site was also very convenient.

Loved our 5nts here in #19. We actually wanted to stay another week, but sadly they were fully booked. Very peaceful setting, nicely paved roads with limbs cleared high enough for big rigs, grounds very well kept. Power & water good, no issues detected. Site was level with a gravel & wood deck patio, fire ring, table, lantern hook, grill and cleaning table. They even had a stack of firewood there on arrival. Staff was very friendly. All in all we had a wonderful stay & will be returning when next we pass that way.
The one thing I will advise is believe the reviews about the lower loop if you are a bigger rig. If you have to wonder if you're too big, you probably are. We originally looked at #37 with it's amazing view, but switched to the upper loop after reading reviews. SO GLAD we did. We walked the lower loop, and no way would we have been able to get turned around and we're only 34' long. It is beautiful down there, just too tight in/out for us.
