Beautiful campground! It has everything, many sites have water/electricity, five sites have sewer, and there’s a dump station nearby. Sites are paved and mostly level, with plenty of space around each one. Many have views of the lake which is unfortunately very low right now. There’s three bathrooms, each with one shower. The cell service was very poor for AT&T, but there’s a hotspot at the check-in booth which really helped. There’s a boat ramp and a really nice fish cleaning station. We stayed five nights, and in late October, there were only a handful of sites occupied. We’ll be back, hopefully the lake will be higher.

Took my family of 5 up there and backed in our 26 ft. Jayflight trailer. Had a great time overall. Rangers and hosts were friendly and helpful. Campsite were maintained with plenty of space between sites. The spacing made each site somewhat private and that was nice. Kids loved the playground. Downsides were WIFI was only accessible within 30 ft. range of host site, the lake was pretty far from our site (which was site 43), and lastly everything was dry (I get it. It was October, so of course everything was dry, but it was still a downside. We will just have to return in the spring for those green rolling hills).

Campground is very well maintained, grass is cut short throughout the campground...helps keep snakes out of sites as well as eliminates stickers and fox tails. Bathrooms are clean. Nice trails available right out of the campground.

Extremely beautiful camp site! Pictures on the website do this place a disservice. The facilities are very clean, and the staff is beyond accommodating and helpful. :) Loved it so much I'm planning on coming back.
