Our campout was really great! The space was nice and clean, and the fire ring was perfect. The entire place was clean and well kept. We only wish there were parking passes included so we didn't have to pay extra for parking at the boat launch to kayak. 2 cars every time you want to kayak seems like much after we paid for a double campsite. All-in-all a wonderful time!

The camp site is very well maintained, our bathroom was out of order but the proximity of the loop camp sites was close enough that it wasn’t an a big inconvenience.

The grounds were very clean and well kept and I saw the groundskeeper and host several times during our 3 day stay. The lake was close but busy. Hiking was beautiful and the trail is mostly maintained. The south shore is busy and north shore is a long steep hike down to lake rentals. Also there is no info on where rentals are located, we found it as we were hiking the lake. The bathrooms in our loop were closed during our stay and we had to walk to another loop and we were not notified via our reservation until we arrived so that was kinda inconvenient. Overall we are going to stay again in the future and loved it.

We really liked our camp spot. Nice wooded campgrounds. The walk to lake was short 5-15 minutes depending where your campsite is. One of the campground hosts was so sweet, I can remember her name. But she helped us out with something she definitely didn’t have too and we really appreciated that! The bathrooms are vault toilets but actually smelled good on the inside and were clean. The outside area surrounding the toilets didn’t as much but was not terrible. Definitely recommend!

Nice campground, clean and spacious sites. Nice easy hike to the lake and good shoreline access for fishing. Was also lovely for swimming!
