Clean facilities, easy access, great place for our first camping experience. So glad we had a 30A to 50A cord as our RV is 30A and the park power is 50A only. No problem!

This campground is pretty and the hosts were helpful, but overall, our stay was uncomfortable. The views are beautiful, but the spaces are tight. The Loop A restroom & shower room both had a lot of spiders (which were very active!) and were pretty old. The stalls were updated, but the tile and fixtures are old. The shower farthest from the sink had a very slow drain.

We had a beautiful view of the lake. We were close enough that we could skip rocks and fish off the bank. My granddaughter caught her first ever fish. She was so excited. She's still talking about it.

Very nice camp area. Although site #13 does not have room for double slide outs. Only on one side can you slide out. Also, no room to open awning and a steep step outside your door.
