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.

It was a wonderful little campsite, right near the playground, the bathrooms, and covered picnic tables. The view at the end of the road was amazing. Electricity worked great and neighbors was friendly. The whole experience was amazing, I will definitely come back to this park!

We stayed at site #51, we used a small tent. It had amazing sunset views, I will say if you have a camper I am not sure how you would fit it. If you choose this spot be sure to bring your extension cord. It is a steep few steps from parking to the tent site and fire, so be safe.
