Our site (#5) was nice and long, and there was plenty of space to park the boat.
The view from this site is the playground, though you can sit outside and see the lake.

Tent camped in spot #9 and had a perfect stay! Clean bathrooms, good shady area and camp spot was close to the lake and swim beach. Will definitely return!

Loves our campsite. Park was clean. Beach needs sand, but I am sure they are waiting until after the flooding rains are over. We are going again and cannot wait!
