Campsites are great. Only thing is they need to mow and take care of grass more. It was overgrown behind our site.

We loved the campsite we were in, everything was great. Being Memorial Day weekend I guess they couldn’t keep up with the septic tank. When we opened the black water the holding tank was full. Made for a nasty mess. But we’ll be back.

Site 44 is great. We usually always stay in this area. Bring your 50 to 30 amp converter. The site fit our 34’ camper just fine.

Great campground! We stayed in our 35 ft fifthwheel in site 8 (great site!), this is a place where most people seem to come for the boating/fishing. So the roads are a bit tight when people park on the shoulders, but it was navigable so long as you know where your rigs clearances are - an experienced driver shouldn't have trouble but a newbie might. We had an easy back in spot, lots of room at our site, the sites seemed well maintained and the whole park in general was very clean and cared for. The showers were nice and got good and warm, the kids playground was super cute, my 4yo and 2 yo loved the swings and slides. All of the views were great! Watch out for the algae blooms (its seasonal), and the no-seeums came out at night but that's normal too. It was very beautiful and peaceful! We will be back!
