Very nice campground with a excellent host. A storm was in the forecast so the camp host let us know ahead of time that he would be watching the weather. That evening there was a tornado warning and he came by and let us know about it and told us we could stay at the bath house during the storm.

As always it is a great place to camp. Host is helpful if you need anything. My only gripe is there is no place to dump sewer.

A family-friendly atmosphere with clean areas and facilities. I liked the access to activities such as kayaking, swimming, and hiking. While initially, the trailhead was somewhat challenging to find, the trail itself was well taken care of and easy to navigate. I highly recommend this location!
