Always a great location for family stay but showers were down and we were not given notification until we arrived. Also, blinds and screens in cabins were pretty worn out. Time to improve general maintenance due to wear and tear.

Great spot, cabins were clean and well set up. Check in super easy and right. Short walk to lake and near-by facilities. Excellent spot to finish up after a day in the Park.

Bring a mattress pad or two.
Showers and Laundry are unavailable in the park.
The cabins are very basic. Cabin 15 has a porch with two chairs and a little table, inside a table and chairs and a bed. Outside a fire pit, picnic table and bear box.
If you like firm beds that are harder than the ground, it's perfect. The pilot light on the heater causes the room to heat up overnight. Glad it was a beautiful weekend and the whole park was open.

The heater was not functioning. It is essential to verify before settling in for the night. If I am going to shell out more than $100, the heater must be operational. I would have stayed at a campground with a tent and paid a lower amount.

This campground is great and well maintained. Short walk to the lake. The cabin is very cute and wished we could’ve stayed multiple nights. My one complaint is that the smell of propane was very intense when we first walked in. I aired it out but at night when we had the windows closed it got intense again even with the heater off. If there is a way to turn of the propane from the outside I might suggest that because the smell is off putting.
