Playground and camping spots had not been mowed/weedeated in a while. We called the park host and when they came to mow, they only mowed where their mower would go. The grass was at least knee high. Poison Ivy was grown all over trees and play ground area. I have been camping here for 20 years and have never seen it this bad. Our family was very disappointed.

Beautiful campground. Large campsites that aren’t too close together. The Lake level was up and our original site was closed. The staff worked extra hard with us, and our other family that was camping with us, to help us stay close together. Bathrooms were spotless. I recommend this campground.
