Nice quiet campground and reservoir. Didn't like how close the campsite 6 was to 7 firepits faced eachother. Also not shaded enough. Lots of fire ants and spiders.

Nice campground, very secluded campsites. We had campsite #12 and it was very private. Only challenge was lack of shade in the afternoon, between 1pm-5pm. Bring a canopy if you plan to be there in the afternoon. Other than that, very quite and nice getaway!

Thank you for a lovely stay! My sister's boys loved riding their bikes and they loved kayaking on the little lake. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

We reserved a site that was meant for 10 people, yet there was only one tent platform that could fit a four person tent. We ended up pitching tents within the trees nearby our campsite and got in trouble from the site manager for doing so. She eventually let us keep our tents there when we told her how we weren't going to fit 3 couples and two singles into one 4 person tent, but she basically told us if we get a ticket for it not to complain to her. This was my wife's first experience tent camping and it was a terrible first impression.

We had a group of 6 so I booked a double campsite (up to 10 people) to ensure we had enough room. We arrived and there was only one tent space so we had to put up the remaining two tents in the drive up. It was extremely uncomfortable and frustrating considering it was the same size as the single sites but cost double the price. The campground manager even said that she had submitted it to be marked as a single. I tried to submit for a refund but the process was too lengthy to be worth it. Very disappointed and will not be staying there again. Be wary of what you book!
