Great camp ground. Shame there is no power and water hookups. But it makes it great if you want to have the campsite to yourself this time of year. Showers did not have any hot water.

Our assigned campsite did not accommodate an RV as stated in the description. Luckily we were able to move to another site. We were very disappointed that there was no lake access or beaches, only a boat dock.
