The campgrounds were great, clean. The only downside is that two of the restrooms were closed, in the area of are spot. I think we should get some kind of refund for this problem.

Nice campground. There are (2) flush toilets and some vault pit toilets. 1 flush toilet was not working and the other was disgustingly dirty! The sink looked like it had not been wiped down in weeks, if not months. Paper waste on the floor- every day! Then the toilets got clogged. We told the camp host and you could tell that he did not care. We were there for 3 nights after we told the host about the issue and it was never cleaned. It was the worst restroom I have ever seen at a campsite- and I have been camping and RVing for many years.

It was nice. It will not be the best for everyone, but you have to experience it to know where it fits in your life. Our loops bathrooms were closed, but notnreally a huge deal in our situation. It was fun, it seemed clean, very quiet. Good little spot.

Very quiet campground, clean, with many interesting trails down to, and around, the Lake. Saw some raccoons, plenty of birds, small tarantulas and other wildlife.
Don’t hesitate to try this campground it was very nice and many sites are spaced out very well for privacy.

Peaceful and quiet. The campground roads are paved. Trails everywhere. Close to stores and food.
Only complaint is no showers. However, drinking water and bathrooms are available and working.
Will definitely return Yah willing!

I camped in a tent with my twin boys, age 4. It was their first real camping trip (not Grandma's backyard). The site was clean and spacious with a great view. Nice hiking trails, relatively quiet after dark, and wonderful weather. The proximity to the lake was perfect for a short hike. We caught and released a gopher snake and that was the highlight of the boys' adventure. The restroom was clean and well-stocked with paper. I highly recommend this campground.
