The campground is beautiful, as are most ACE facilities. The only problem I had was that the gate blocking the access road was locked when I arrived at 8PM. I had rushed to arrive before the end of the official campground host hours at 9PM, so I was surprised that I could not get in. Fortunately, another campground guest arrived at the same time and phoned in to family members inside who tracked down the campground host.

The facilities were all clean an in good working order, and the waterfront location was quiet and serene. Overall, a good stay.

Basic campsite near the water. We were the only ones & enjoyed he sunrise. Only downside is it is very near the road so the constant headlights and road noise was less than ideal.

We had an amazing time! Beautiful view, no matter where you camped. The ducks, geese, eagles and even storks were migrating! It was gorgeous! Lots of room for our 37' fifth wheel. Some of the picnic tables at the campsite had their own built in canopies, but even the ones that didn't, which we had, were amazing. We loved the fire rings, just everything about the campsite was wonderful. The shower/bathrooms were always clean and sanitized, I just cannot recommend this place highly enough!
