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.

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

I was super unset about paying 25 dollars a night plus tax for a camping spot that was supposed to have showers and restrooms instead we get there and the showers are closed because of a water leak and the have porter potty's instead

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

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!).

Beautiful place to camp. Very few campers were there at this time. So I feel our camp site should have been cleaner. Trash and leftover food under the picnic table. The website mentioned when booking that the showers would be closed but in actuality the restrooms were closed leaving Porta potties to use. I might have chosen a different place to go knowing this. It was however very nice to have the 24/7 open dump station!

Not sure why bathrooms were closed and only portable potty was not. That is not enough for such a big demand. I wish that info was visible at front. Other than that we loved it . It was clean site, and pretty spacious. We haven’t seen a host at all- last night some campers very loud till 3 am which I would expect a camp host to do something about.

The camp area and bathroom were clean. No lights in the bathroom. Campsites are pretty close together where you can see and hear about 3-4 of your neighbors (nothing wrong with that, just worth mentioning if campers are expecting rim like space). Hosts were very kinda and fun, they came around a few times, sweet older couple. All in all, I would return.

We camped in the double site, 177, Cane loop and it was wonderful. The views were awesome and the site was pretty private. There was fresh water to fill our trailer tank at the dump site down the road a bit past the other loops. We found we could easily launch kayaks from the boat landing near the big ramp. The only negative was there is no shoreline to sit next to the water.
