Don't tell anyone about this wonderful place, or everyone will want to come here and probably want to change it. My wife and I love it and have been coming here for years to get away from the world. NO CELL SERVICE!! This is great. We get back to what life should be and was. Simple. Very little AM radio which is nice, relax and play board games and cards. Kind of like Mayberry. If you need "civilization" go to the marina store or go into Eager, Springville or Greer. Its a nice drive. Its funny to see people on the Verizon rock trying to get a cell signal. If you cant handle no service, DONT COME. You don't deserve this enchanted place.

Spacious sites, great hosts, clean bathrooms.
Love this area!
The lake was full of green algae, unfortunately the fishing wasn’t great but the weather was. Rained everyday.
