I give it only 3 stars because the camp host was not doing his job. All the bathrooms were out of toilet paper and were really dirty. Other than that everything was really good like always , we camp here every year and it’s always very nice place .

Wonderful experience! Stayed at campsite 13, lots of trees to set up guyline for our pup. Lots of space to set up and being so close to the water for afternoon dio was great!
Wonderful hikes in the area that are dog friendly. Will return for sure! Especially mid week when things are quiet.

It was ok except that the showers were not working so we had to drive to another site to shower.
toilet remains unflushable. Site would be great with flushable toilet.
Love that site is walking distance to Lake.

The lake was beautiful- too bad about the litter that was left at our campsite.
The trash bins were over flowing- so I guess people decided to throw trash at the sites!

Dumpsters overflowing and bathroom clean out smelled up the entire campground for an entire day. But it was an amazing trip for my family.

Be sure to be ready for numerous jet skis and music playing in the campground till all hours!
Most campsites have 20-30 people cramped into them for a drunken revelry!

The campground itself is beautiful, the lake is just gorgeous. Unfortunately, the grounds this year were in pretty bad shape. The restrooms were not cleaned and were missing toilet paper a lot of times. Our site was not cleaned properly, even though we checked in way later than 2pm. We have been coming to this campground for the last 15 years, this is the dirtiest we have seen it. We will be there next year no matter what.
