I really do enjoy camping here at this spot. It's nice because it's close. But this year was a bit unsatisfying. The place was dirty with little bits of trash everywhere. No one followed any of the rules, and it was loud until 3 am

Love it. Great place to swim and paddle around. Clean and easy to keep an eye on all the kids.

Such a beautiful lake. Camping up in big lake north was spacious and nice. Close to rest rooms and very family friendly.

Well maintained campground and boat launch facilities. Great for tent and motorhomes. Outhouse type toilets and no RV hookups, but beautiful views at sunset. Quiet hours are respected. Friendly hosts. Wish the fees were reduced a bit to accommodate folks that want to stay a few days. 2 nights camping and a boat launch is just over 50 bucks.
