Try to get a back in space rather than roadside if you have slide outs. Ours did NOT hang into the roadway, but I would have felt more comfortable if we didn't have that at all. Campground was clean and nice, people observed the quiet time from 10p - 6a nicely, no complaints at all.

The camp host is terrible. I was there for a day before tracking her down to get the Boat Ramp pass. When you go to the host site she had dog shit all over the place. She traveled to wrong way on one way roads. My site wasn't clean ashes in the camp fire ring.

This campground is a pretty good option for RV campers, especially those with boats. The host was very nice. The bathrooms were as clean as could be expected. And there are a handful of people clearly set up for the long haul, not just a weekend getaway. The boat launch is just down the path (or road). It's a bit more of a struggle for tent campers. The sound of tiny fishing boats with oversized engines zipping around the lake is a big part of the ambient noise, as are the RV generators that never seem to stop. Tent campers should aim for one of the walk-to sites on the cane trail. These sites are a little farther from the generators and you have excellent views of the lake. All in all, likely an ideal campground for some, but not necessarily my cup of tea.

Nice campground except for someone's noisy generator running most of the day.

Nice place to camp with the family. Already planned another trip for the end of March. The only drawback was the online pictures. I made the reservation online and the site was different than the pictures. Had to buy another campsite to fit the RV since the slideout opened on the passenger side. The slide-out would have been in the street. A place to dump the garage so that you do not have to take it home with you. Dump station available but there may be a little wait time. Overall a great place to visit.
