Decent site but very close to neighbors. Each firepit is in clear view of each other. Road is narrow and backing in may prove challenging for some. There's a slight downhill into the site which would probably make leveling anything longer than 30 ft front to back difficult or impossible. Our trailer is just shy of 29 ft and with the trailer jack fully retracted we were able to get there.

Utilities are standard. No problems with those. Cleanliness left a little to be desired. Picnic table was very dirty (easy to cover up with a table cloth, and there were cigarette butts everywhere.

We were able to keep an eye on the kids at the playground from the site which was nice and would be great during the summer if they were playing in the water. Overall, not bad for a weekend getaway.

We had a great site on the water. Big rigs be careful choosing your site. There are a lot of trees and not all sites are level. We were in a 35 ft 5th wheel.

The sites are close together. Our site was in a curve and was very hard to back into. We finally moved a few sites over and was able to get in it.

Ranger, host, and facilities were great. However, the camp next to us had two dogs barking all day and night until the campers returned to camp. This went on for 3 days. The dogs were not on a leash. Shouldn’t be allowed.

Beautiful campground with excellent views of the lake! This is a place we would love to come back to come back to when the weather is warmer to explore the water.
