The view and the overall campground was great. The camp hosts were wonderful and bathrooms were clean. However the spot we reserved T15, could only work for a super small tent. The fire ring is placed in the middle of the site, leaving a small uneven area for a tent. We have a family size tent and had to set it up in the pathway to our site, leaving us very little privacy and almost no room to enter our site. The website info about the sites starting with a "T" isn't entirely correct. It neglected to mention some key information. First, you cannot drive up to your site. You have to haul all of your equipment on the dirt path to your site. The website allowed us to select 3 vehicles, but we only had one spot. We brought our boat with us, but the spot only allowed for a single vehicle. Fortunately we were with friends that had a site on the actual loop that allowed us to park our boat there.

The natural beauty was amazing. The vamp hosts were kind and artistic. It was super clean on grounds, restrooms and showers. I will definitely be back.

We liked the campground. Some of the spots were close together. We had a great spot which was more secluded.
