I stayed here for a week and it was absolutely gorgeous. There was real good space between sites that made it feel like you had your own little spot of your own on the lake. It was very peaceful and the perfect spot that I needed. Whenever I am in this area I will be making my stay here.

We had reserved site c4. We got there and the pad was elevated from the driveway to it. We backed in and tge two back jacks of our 5th wheel it the elevated concrete pad. We moved to site c8. After that everything was good. Park is maintained well. Bathrooms were clean. Some sites are in full sun and others have full shade. Some sites have culverts so take it slow backing into them.
