We go here every April for crappie fishing and it is always a pleasant experience. The campsites are nice and campers are very friendly.

The park is great for camping and the crappie fishing this year was really good. The bath house was very clean - they did a great job! Only complaint was the trash dumpster - it was overflowing, didn’t get emptied and the smell was awful.

Burn ban forced us to cook inside. No fire even for cooking. Water level made for poor fishing. Out of the 5 nights stayed only had one warm shower (showered in hill).
Most of issues out of control of park but was disheartened none the less. Very unusual!!

Very pretty and quite beautiful view of the lake nice bathrooms but not to fond of the pad for the camper spot I was in f5 I think and it was a night mare to back into and hard to level it . And we never did see signs that told us which section we were driving through. Lol think we drove through 3 times before we found it but it was also right at dark . But it is a nice place to camp with ur family. And there is nicer spots there just this one not so good, but it had a beautiful view of the lake. And I will camp there again just not in that spot.
