This is a really nice campground in a great location. The sites are large, have covered tables, and are well-spaced. It took us a while to find the path down to the water, but it's there and the "beach" area is great. I do wish the sites had views of the water, but it's easy to get down there once you find the path. While here, definitely worth renting kayaks on the lake (or bringing your own and launching from the site!).

Site and views were great. For those camping with kids, fishermen get up early...

The restrooms were closed due to a water problem, ok, but the porta potty was unusable literally filled to the top, and the campground had very few campers, also there was a group camping playing very loud music yelling, obviously very drunk, the camp host was invisible, it was a shame because it was a beautiful place

It is a beautiful site and everything was perfect except for the Porta-potty. It look as though it hadn't been serviced in months. And I understand it was just after a weekend, but it still was basically over capacity.
