Great location, road was a little fun to get to get in to. But gorgeous drive, good sites, bathhouses were clean and easy to get to.

Very quiet place to stay. Below average traffic so you don't have to worry to much about the kids playing or riding bikes on the road.

late in season, we were the only campers in the park which was fine. Would have stayed longer but no cell service at all.

This park could use some better signage! We came in after dark, having never been here before we had to guess at which direction to go. We found our site, but were heading the wrong direction to easily back in.
The park is gorgeous, our site was across the road from the lake, which was very low. We visited in October, so were a lot of empty spaces, however the sites are not on top of each other, so even during peak season it would be a great place to stay.
No cell service, didn't know that in advance, my bad. It was oddly nice to be disconnected for a few days.

Could be a lovely campground
Several issues here.
1. Entry to park is not well signed.
2. Lake was extremely low and not mentioned anywhere on website. Based on the grass growing on the lake bottom, this has been an issue for a LONG time.
3. We understand that people hunt here, and don’t have an issue with that, HOWEVER, across from our campsite there was a deer head UNDER the camper attracting vermin.
4. We left after one night as we did not feel safe… didn’t seem to be rangers and the few campers who were there made us uncomfortable

This small camping ground was great. Even on Labor Day weekend it didn't seem crowded.

The area was beautiful. My only complaint is that the grass was not mowed , was very tall and several in our group got ticks and chiggers.

BEAUTIFUL area, but the whole park lost power our first night there and it was HOT! That, coupled with absolutely ZERO cell service, made us leave 2 days early. We were trying to get away (we're local) and work remotely, but were unable to do anything. Great big "X" on the data! Again, the area was beautiful. But we need cell service in case of an emergency. We won't be back until it is readily available.
