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.
