This was the best little trip! My family of 5 stayed in a big tent for 3 nights. This spot is right on the water where you could park a boat or fish, and my kids even swam. My only complaint is that the tent "pad" is just rocks so it was very hard. I had a carpet for inside the tent but it made driving the pegs a bit of a challenge. Wish it had more shade also so make sure to bring your canopies. You can see the bathrooms from this spot. Bathrooms are clean. Beach area is great and not far also. It's a busy campground but everyone was respectful of the rules. It was a fantastic stay!

Loved the spot had such a beautiful view and set up! Just wish they had a better trash location to throw out our bags! But I give it a 10/10

This was my first time at this campground, I’m from out of state and my husband and I were celebrating our four year anniversary, and we were blown away! The view was beautiful, the grounds were peaceful. We can’t wait to come back!

My husband, friend and I were back again for my birthday in August. And while I understand this is the prime time for boating and water activities I was a little disappointed with the lack of privacy we had at our spot with other guest walking through to their boats. Other than that we enjoyed the amazing view and the water was refreshing on the hot afternoons! Still definitely coming back!

Enjoyable 3 night stay in late August. We stayed in space 31, and cell coverage was good enough to stream tv and movies. Bathrooms were clean, campground was quiet at night. Will return in near future.
