We stayed at B-36 from May 13-16. Loved the camping spot. Good and flat next to the water. Had a wonderful time. Will definitely be back again.

Campground and facilities were clean and quiet. No map of campground so getting to spot could be challenging if new to area. Site are old and not level but manageable.

Great site for camping and fishing. Nice swim area, although to cold on this trip to enjoy. Great hosts onsite to take care of any problems. Just had to much rain and wind to call it a perfect trip.

The spots for travel trailers were horrible. they were short, unloved, trees were to close and couldn't open awnings, storage compartments and had to fix it just right to open slides. There was trash all over the place. Did not enjoy it at all. It could be a Beautiful place if it were kept up and redone for travel trailers.
