Loved this campsite!! Plenty of trees surrounding the campsite and a picnic table and campfire ring. Site was clean and well maintained. Close to bathroom and potable water so you don’t need to bring any for cleaning and cooking. Bathroom was spotless and the camp host Wendy was very nice and friendly. Would definitely stay at this site again. Only four campsites in this loop so not crowded even when all four sites were occupied.

We enjoyed our stay at the campground. The site had a staircase that went down to a spacious picnic area. The only issue we had is that our site (G30) was next to a road that the camp host lived down. Their site wasn't visible from the head of the road, and they chose to put the sign next to our campsite, so everyone thought we were the camp hosts. In 2 days we had 6 fellow campers come into our campsite and knock on the door to ask for help. I moved the sign to the other side of the road so that it would be more obvious that the host lived down the road, and the host moved it back to being near our site. I guess it helps reduce traffic at the hosts site, but there were several frustrated people looking for the host, and a couple that wanted to argue with us that the sign said we were the hosts... other than that, the place is well kept and trails are easy to access.

We had a very good experience at the campground. The only issue we had was that the closest bathrooms to us were out of order so we had to walk to the next closest bathrooms which became out of order on the 2nd day we were there. So we had to walk even further. Other than that we had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay at the campground. The campsite in G loop was a very nice layout. The trails to the lake were close and easy to access. There are no hookups. We stayed at site 30. There was decent sun exposure for our solar system - we were able to collect 200-300 watts of solar power input from my (6) 100 watt panels. The only drawbacks were that site G30 is right next to a "camp host" sign. Since the host site isn't visible due to being down a long road, other campers assume site G30 is the host. I moved the sign a little to help other campers realize this difference, and the host moved the sign back to being by our site... So in 2 days we had 6 people come up to our trailer to ask for help. A few were rude towards us when I told them we weren't the hosts, and they argued that the sign said we were the host. The other thing is that I didn't like the constant mild noise from the main road in front of the campground throughout the day that echoed into the campsite. Overall, I'll be back next season but I'll book a different sight to avoid the interruptions from fellow campers.

May want to check generator requirements for your RV before going. We were told ours was too loud, though we only had it on during listed acceptable hours.
