This is probably the best campsite in the campground with its space, shade, and lake view. The main flaw is the proximity to paths used by day use visitors, who don’t always see the paths and walk into your site, and park in your space. The camp hosts were wonderful and constantly patrolled the area to correct the day use visitors. We were lucky enough to watch a bear forage for food across the meadow one day.

Fantastic campground right on the lake. Water spouts were common throughout the campground, the bathrooms were clean, and all the spots had plenty of shade. Incredible experience.

Many water supply faucets, but no shower rooms. Ground is covered by mulch.
