Due to having issues with our truck, we ended up staying here a week. Everyone was so helpful and kind to us! The campground is so nice and lots are spacious. The beach was wonderful.

The bathrooms and boathouse were always clean.

We would love to come there again!!

The site we reserved was not on the water, like it showed it being on the map. The site was so unlevel, that even up on three blocks, my front end was still so dangerously slanted below my back end, that I didn’t feel safe in the spot with a motorhome. I changed spots by calling the reservation line because the woman at the gate couldn’t change spots, or assign spots, or even write tags apparently, as she just handed me a blank tag to do myself when I came in. After my children had been swimming in the swimming area of the lake with children in another site, another camper informed us that there was e-coli in the water. No one had bothered to tell us this. It turned out to be true, as we learned from the man who does the water testing. There was still e-coli in the water when we left and still no signage, verbal warnings or anything else to alert people. There was pink plastic tape around the playground, but nothing around the beach area. It would be super simple to just put up a sign, or for the woman at the gate to warn people.
