Great area, not super busy even on holiday weekends. The location for being by the water and relaxing is wonderful! Enough sun and shade to enjoy the area and have some fun!

Great park! I was in campsite 61, great views and level site. Facilities are acceptable, fairly clean. Thereβs mountain biking trails and hiking right at the campgrounds. Excellent outdoor adventures! Kayaking is good too early in the morning!

Beautiful area. Lots were flat but trees fairly close on sides so we had to be strategic with our slide. We stayed on lot 4A with a 30β TT.
