Many visitors enjoyed the shaded areas and proximity to the water, with some planning to return annually.

We come here every year, except the last few because of covid, so was great to go back this year. Unfortunately, the 100 year hurricane had it raining! The good news is we tried the Yurt this time and it saved us from the rain.

Accessible roads to all campsites which are well-marked making it easy to find at night. Water from pumps was ready-to-drink which was very convenient. The lake is wonderful for swimming, had very warm water at the beginning of August.

the online map of the camp sites is the worst I have ever seen. It turns out the site #26 is the very last site in the park, It is water front with very little view & a steep trail to get to lake. Drinking water was very close & the flush tolet was only 3 sites away. Hope this helps someone in the future.

Beautiful area, although this section of the lake has mostly dried up. The yurt was very lovely, however there were mysterious stains on the sheets on the bed (mouse droppings maybe?).

Nice small campground. We just stayed overnight so didn’t do any activities. Site was flat. Next to a road. July it was very hot. One bar service with Verizon. Host was friendly.

Cute spot, water was too low to enjoy, but it was a good spot to set up for sleep and just hang out!

Well maintained campground and clean bathrooms. The camp host was so nice and helpful. We could hear the train passing by at night but no horn blown and we went right back to sleep. Nice campground, Will definitely come again.

I thought it would be nearer the water. Also no TP in bathroom and no showers.

Great little spot, shaded, quiet, met great people, the train does come through about 4-5 times a day and a couple times at night but it’s really not that bad the sound is relaxing
