Absolutely beautiful campgrounds with great showers/bathrooms and easy access. Only complaint was the tent pads are kinda small (my tent is 16x8 and hung over one side, and they are all rocks so the tent stakes either don't stay or you can't drive them into the ground.

The week we were there the temperatures were below normal for this time of year. Breeze blowing of the water was absolutely incredible. Ducks came up to our campsite (3) we gave them some bread. When I was cooking turned around all 8 of them were there. Guess they told their friends we had bread up here. Just an over all relaxing week.

We absolutely loved this site. Lake access was right across the road, hot showers and bathrooms were clean, and neighbors were quiet. The common comments in other reviews of the loud generator were a bit harsh - while there is one nearby and it is noticeable when it turns on/off (which is very frequent), it’s not so loud to wake us up or cause issues at night. Our only complaint is of our site itself - while the tent pad was level, the rest of the site was not so finding a level place to set up a camp stove was challenging. The picnic table (at the time of writing this, so unsure if it will change), was moveable so we were able to move it around, but it was difficult to find a level spot. The walk up/down from where parking is is also a bit long - not a challenge for us, but stairs and the slope might be difficult for others. Overall had a wonderful time and will be back!

Nice quiet spot. Wish the water access was better, it was all thick lake grass and you couldn’t really enjoy it for swimming or fishing.

Beautiful campground, clean bathrooms and showers. Wish it offered full hookups though or at least water!

The cap area was really nice. The view we had was amazing. However the sites could have used some mowing, weeding, and some ant killer. We got ate up with fire ants. The bath houses were nice and clean.
