The campground host was friendly and supportive of our trip. We had a great stay in a clean campground that had a real family feeling to it. We stay every year this time of year with a group, and this was definitely one of our best trips.

Memorial Day is kind of cold, but good friends and good food with warmth by a fire make camping a wonderful experience. It’s a lovely campground. We like it a lot.

We were in spot #27 which is a pull-through. It was very close to the road and not very private. There is a ton of traffic through the campground which kicks up dust. Lake spots seem very nice. Overall most of the campsites are on the smaller side. Bring leveling blocks.

Campground host met us at site within minutes of arrival, and maintained a 'gentle contact' throughout our stay. Area was neat and well-kept. We will return!
