Nice quiet place to relax and enjoy the view and watch the geese fly in and land. Only complaint would be how unlevel the site was, had to add 5 inches of blocks to one side to level the camper. Site #48 if you plan to stay here bring plenty of leveling blocks.

It was a nice spot on the lake and well-maintained. We enjoyed our stay.
It's a looonnng way to the bathhouse!
We noticed that someone had reserved the prime campsite on the point but were ABSENT for several days. I could understand a couple of days, but anything longer is just depriving someone else of the opportunity to enjoy a great spot.

Didn’t have a great site. In fact, probably the worst site of the entire camp ground. However, it was a nice stay. Wish the sites were bigger and spaced further apart in places.

really enjoyed this campground. thought it was really neat to have a swimming area specifically for the campground rather than a public area where we are sharing with lots of others + have to drive to, etc. the grounds were kept nicely. our spot was nice & level. we will be back!

All the other campers were considerate and friendly ,campground was clean, it was really hot so the water got a little warm. There were 2 dogs running loose so we had to be super vigilant with our dogs, but overall it was a great camping trip. We will definitely camp there again.
