The camping area was beautiful. What I was pleased about most was the upkeep on the restroom area. Very clean .

Great small older park. Loaded with mature trees. Sites are mostly level. I only had to make minor adjustments to level my rig. Be sure to have extra fresh water hoses. I was barely able to reach the water faucet with my hose. Very hilly terrain. Very nice bath/shower facilities. They had the nicest fire pits that I've seen at a campground. The sites were spacious and not too close together. The sites are located on the lake. Very pretty. Also, no stores or shopping nearby.

The #10 campsite was amazing. The bathroom and showers were maintained and very clean. We had very little cell service but enough to occasionally send and receive text. The entire camp was clean and with the changing leaves it was beautiful.

It's a very nice location. A shame the water is so low, but that's the way it is. The only thing I could fault is the lack of maintenance in the showers. Of four showers only one actually "showered" the rest either had nothing or water issuing like a cow on a rock. My wife refused to use the shower when she noticed a spider about silver dollar sized, which you can't do much about, but I'm mentioning it anyway. I liked that the water was warm, but the building was not and the ventilators seemed to be running overtime anyway. (Outside temps in the 40's).
