The campground is beautiful and inviting! However, a heatwave struck during our stay with temps of 106 and a heat index of 115! Otherwise the campground is clean and very relaxing.

So quiet!!! Enjoyed swimming and evening rides on the pontoon. It was really hot but we handled it well. The kids had fun riding their bikes & scooters and playing at the park. No bug bites this trip!!! Love this place and I wish we could visit more often.
