Site 17 was so beautiful, we even saw 2 eagles. Very peaceful looking down on the lake watching the Canadian Geese.

The campsite was very nice. Bathrooms were clean. The only problem we had was the couple in site #4 kept opening their door before putting their large dog on a leash and he charged right towards my Yorkie. The dog would not obey his owner. One time the dog ran out and went clear to the other end of the campsite and back before his owner caught him. It's fine to bring your dog, however you must obey the leash law!!!'

The campsite 27 had a great view of the lake. It is not close to either of the bathhouses . Despite the shutdown they kept toilet paper and paper towels stocked but no soap. The campground was pretty full for the off season. Bathrooms were old and not super clean thus the 4 star rating. Decent service with AT&T. Was able to stream from my hotspot to my computer. Very peaceful even with lots of boats going by.
