Normally a great place to stay. Nice, clean but had a problem. Still winter time and no hot water. The hot water for showers wasn't turned on. Nothing broken just not turned on. Not a big problem in the summer but when the temps are around 40-50 a ice cold shower sucks.

Great home base for mountain biking. Campground right in the middle of the lake and the LOViT Trail passes right through it. Campsites right on the lake. Definitely will return.

Site were placed nicely by the water. Bathrooms were clean and had nice hot water. Should provide opportunity to buy wood and ice year round. Be sustainable provide recycling bins.

Right on the lake. If you are tent camping Make sure you check the wind info for the days you are there. We were getting strong gusts off the lake. That was my fault though. Good showers. 16A and most other spots had 50/30/20 amp plugs and water on site.

We loved our stay here. We camped in our tent for 2 nights. I’ve had pretty cold weather, so the heated showers and bathrooms were very nice! We were on spot 11 and the view was beautiful

Beautiful place! The only thing I would recommend is bringing a tarp to put up between trees to block the wind. We went during winter and plan to come back during the summer months with all of our water toys.
The showers/bathrooms were nice and clean and not far from the camp sites.
