One issue is trees needs to be trimed around camp sites. Also areas need to be keep mowed. It is a great place to camp.

Well, unfortunately, there was someone at our spot, 35C, when we showed up at about 10 oβclock. Turned out the only other spot available was just across the street so we made friends with the people who had our spot and set up in 36C. Had a great time and made new friends :)

This is our favorite campground! The pads are level and flat, campsites are shady which helps in the heat of the summer, and most sites have a convenient location to park your boat overnight close to your site and leave them in the water so you don't have to take the boats out every day.

Really enjoy our visits here, liked the campsite we stayed at the first time better, but all are very decent size sites. The camp hosts are very kind and helpful, very clean bathrooms we will be back.

We stayed at campsite 23 We LOVED it, It is Tent only and no Power poles or water. There was a Water Area right beside it but it didn't work... Overall we loved and will be back!
