Absolutely love this campground. The Vista trail is some of the most chill and fun mtb trail and the womble is so close.

Loved this campground. Small? Close to the water. Easy access. Didnβt try the showers.

Sites were spaced out, and not on top of each other. Part of the campground was closed, it was nice to walk through and those sites were spaced out also.
There was some machinery running across the cove from us, but the noise was not unbearable.

Loved our site (C37) on the lake. Plenty of room, close enough to the restrooms which were cleaned every day. Happy the campground is open all year. Enjoyed having access to the LOViT trail system right from the campground.

Our 1st time out in our motorhome. The view was gorgeous, people friendly, nice clean sites. Canβt wait to go back.

We are tent campers and needed a place to stay with only a few days lead time, so we reluctantly booked a site amongst the RV sites. It's a pretty setting, right on the lake, but our Saturday night was louder and brighter than we would prefer (RVs with lots of lights, big screen TV outside, loud talking and boozing). The facility is nice, however, and we appreciated having easy access to potable water and toilets.

Campsites were close to the water and not each other. Bathrooms were the best maintained and serviced of anywhere we have previously camped with the possible exception of Disney World. We had a great experience, thanks

We loved our time there and are coming back very soon. The staff that we interacted with were all very nice and friendly. The surroundings were great. It is now our favourite place to go for some time in our RV.

My only concern is that the tree limbs need to be trimmed
