We stayed at a secluded site with a nice fire pit. The showers are clean and warm and you just have to pay $5 for the code (for everyone in your party) to access them. The lake itself is gorgeous and was warm enough to sit on an inner tube and read.

Had site A 22. Pull through that slopes off in the front half of sight. Neighbor sites are close by. One way road so picnic for site is on driver’s side so not convenient with rv. Interior roads have lots of overhanging branches but it’s doable. Not many sites are friendly for taller 5th wheels. Made the best of it. Park itself was nice. No Verizon service.

This place was perfect! So close to popular spots in the park. I liked being near the lake as well! The camper store had everything you could need. Spaces were large and clean. The bathrooms were clean as well. Honestly, no complaints. I would stay here again.

Campers should refrain from walking through others sites just to save a few steps to the bathroom. Every bathroom has a paved path to it so no need to be rude. Also generator hours are not a suggestion but a regulation.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
