We very much enjoyed our stay here. There were no flushing toiles or showers available as we were here during the off season and all water was off. All of the restrooms as the swim area, which I assume are the flushing toilets and showers' were locked up. The vault toilets in the camp areas were clean though and had alcohol foam dispensers for hand cleaning. The sites are nice and mostly spaced out so you are not camping right on top of your neighbors. There were some generators running periodically and we did not see any signs saying they could not run them. Otherwise a very nice place to camp and we do plan on returning here.

We love the space each campsite allows for, as well as the wonderful canopy provided by all the trees. The lake is very safe, with not much boat traffic at all.

Clean toilet facilities and the views from our campsite was gorgeous. Dogs allowed on leashes. Good amount of space between each site. Shower & flush toilets are at the entrance so bit of a walk over from loop A & B. Overall, an amazing campground.

We had a spot on the lake which was beautiful. The campground only had a few people there so it was very quiet. The gentleman who was maintaining the area stopped to say hello and was very friendly. He told us of the hot showers at the stone building so we hit those the next morning. A very nice campground, super clean and great people. Hope to come back again
