One of my favorite places to camp. I love to walk in this park, feel like I get a perfect workout. Glorious sunsets.

We were not pleased with how unlevel the spot was. Required a good 3 inches of elevation on one side to level plus the front of the trailer had to be raised very high. One should be aware that a "run" to the store is about a 15 mile round trip. Of course it was beyond the parks control but most of the week was very windy but our spot was not catching as much wind as those up on the hill. Still, I might be inclined to use this spot again and picked a few others but we were not overly impressed with most of the spots. Ours was one with the covered picnic table which was nice and the workstation.

This place was AMAZING! We had one of the best spots (44) which had water views from 2 spots. We could watch the kids ride their bikes without a worry! The place was so clean. I cannot wait to stay here again!
One downfall is it was close to the dumpsters so there was a moment when it stunk but the lid was left open.

First time camping here. We stayed for thanksgiving. Great time! Plenty of bike riding roads for the kids and and myself. I imagine camping here in early summer would be great with the lake for swimming and being on the water.
