We are so appreciative of how we were allowed to leave the park early because of problems with our RV and received a refund for the days we were not able to stay!

Easy to reserve and check in. Wish there was a little more space between campsites. One of our electric poles in site 24 didn't work. I would stay there again!

This is a very nice Campground. The attendants are about as friendly as they come. The park is clean and the bathhouse is well stocked and cleaned daily. It was very quiet during the night and I had a great view of the lake. I am sure I will be visiting this camp again in the near future.

Clean well kept camp grounds. Attendants very friendly and helpful. Only negative is lack of cell service.
