Worst camp host every day to not keep things cleaned and maintained we had to go and buy bug spray to kill flies around the outhouse. And once we did that the bugs that died were you ever cleaned or swept up I never watch them rake any campsites and clean up after anyone left, I would not recommend this to my worst enemy

We enjoyed the campground, the host was very nice and the campground is clean including the vault toilets. There are no showers hence the 4 star rating. But even if there were showers it's the summer of 2020 and they would be closed anyway. I walked to the lake before sunrise and enjoyed watching at least 6 osprey fishing on the lake until an bald eagle flew in, that was an awesome sight! We don't fish but you can fish and boat on the lake, no swimming.

Starting to get crowded. The people have no consideration for fishers, people will come within 25 feet of you while fishing. Stand your ground. The campsite was great and we loved the location.

We really enjoyed the cleanliness and quiet of the campground. Though we didn’t catch any fish, the accessibility of the lake was great. My only ask would be to put something in the toilets to control the flies as the day gets warmer. All in all, a great time and will go back.
