We stayed in site C42. It has a great view of the water. It was peaceful and quiet so we were able to have some much needed down time. We would stay here again.

The park itself is very nice. We were on site 36. However, on two occasions my surge protector tripped us due to high voltage. You would think after reporting it and having a reservation for 10 days someone would of looked at it. I resorted to using 30 amp service and my solar. In addition it was hunting season and someone brought in 8 hunting dogs. A deer harvested on the Lake was hung in a tree at the campground.
