We had campsite 16 and the water did not work. We had to ask our neighbors to split their water with us. Fortunately, we always carry a splitter. The repair guys did come out almost immediately but were unable to repair as the hardware was broke below ground and would have to be dug up to fix.
Also, it would be tremendously helpful to campers that do NOT have pets with them to be able to request a no pet camping area. We have dogs but we do not bring them with us. Our neighbors and their families had dogs everywhere and they barked and yapped at everything that moved. Then they would yell at their animals for barking.
It was annoying and very disrespectful to other campers. We couldn't even sit outside our camper and enjoy the peace and quite as there wasn't any. You could even hear the dogs barking and yapping inside their RV.

We love this campground. Sunsets over the lake are hard to beat. Great selection of sites. Newer clean bath houses.

Site 49.
Sites 48 & 49 were booked for our families for the weekend, they are super close to one another fyi. The parking is similar to a Y shape and somewhat sloped. The stay was great, clean, and well maintained.
Bring firewood, ant spray, and plenty of lighting.
Gnats were absolutely terrible!

Site 6 was horrible for novice campers . It is extremely difficult to park in that site . The water connection was at least 15 ft from the electric box. Luckily we had 2 hoses to connect that just barely reached . Otherwise, the view of the lake from that site was great .

Awesome lake with lots of fishing and a small playground. Would love to see a basketball goal installed somewhere around park for teenagers.
