It was so relaxing and quiet during Labor Day weekend. My family and I always book in advance on your website and it's so much better. Hiking, fishing and boating. There is two boat ramps at this location.

Love this campground. Just wish they had more 50 amp sites. Hosts were great. Loved being able to ride my bike around the park, hike the trails, fish and kayak or just sit and watch the scenery. Definitely will be back.

This a beautiful park and we’ll maintained. This trip I noticed a lot of campers have not been cleaning up after their dogs! I camp with a dog and it’s not that hard to clean up and leave your site nice for others!

The experience was good but the only downfall was that the breaker on our campsite kept having to be reset
