The campsite that I had reserved wasn’t what I expected. Another site nearby was much better, and I went to recreation.gov to cancel the original site and reserve the alternative. I was unable to complete the switch on line, so I called recreation.gov for help. The rep was very courteous and helpful, and was able to complete my transaction. The Park Ranger that came by to complete the check in was also very kind and helpful. He was knowledgeable about the area, and supplied me with campsite and lake maps. All in all, great experience.

Site 57 is a good site, fairly level (add about 2” to passenger side). Good privacy on door side of RV. Down side is that, over time, rangers and park attendants have become lax about enforcing the posted campground rules and have allowed campers to park multiple vehicles around a site too close to, and sometimes out in the road making it difficult or impossible to pull through the area or maneuver into a site without having to have someone move a vehicle to let you through. Unfortunately over the years the quality and beauty of the campground has degraded probably due to its usage and indifference of its patrons. Cell coverage (AT&T) is fair, tv reception on antenna only isn’t great but a few channels will come in. Water hookup is not available at every site, but maybe should be a consideration for future improvements.

no sand on beach. geese poop all over beach. ranger don't come around to shoot the geese off. it's just sad. this place has went down hill so bad. plus you have dead trees on camp pad. we had a big limb fall out of the blue and barely missed the canopy. last night there someone brought there 2 small small dogs or puppies and left them outside all night, and they barked all night keeping everyone in our party up.
