Me and the boys had an amazing time together, although the camping spot was good we rented another one while we were there just for the fun of it (and more space) I would definitely go again, the only bad thing I would say are the restrooms, they work good and all but they were just not clean.

Trimmer could be nice if it wasnt really hot.
And if there was a reservoir.
Maybe in the spring.

No shade, no water. A bad place for fishing full of mood.

The location is great! Our family reserved the whole campsite (all 10 sites). It was a very hot weekend but the water was close enough for us to take a short drive down the hill and enjoy the fresh water. The bathrooms were not clean, but we were prepared and took our own cleaning stuff to bring it up to par. I'm not going to complain because at least we had toilets and showers to use. We can't wait to go back next year!!!

The water was very low at the lake. It’s a good idea to go to the site to see the actual campsites. We stayed at campsite one and it was not enough room for more than one large tent. We needed to get a second campsite.

Water was perfect most all the sites have good shade . Quiet little camp not to many people. Only issue....the bathrooms...they need some love. They had to and all that just could use a good scrub. Well the womens was bad. The men's was not as bad but yea. Cobwebs and a bat enjoy the space too lol. But other than that it was great.
Bring swim shoes! Lots of stickers by the water but water was perfect !
Not to many boats...just a really nice weekend at the lake
