Love this campground. It’s beautiful and fairly small so you don’t have a million people. Camp hosts are always helpful. The reservoir goes back and forth as to levels but still lots of fun for fishing, kayaking, boating and just playing in the water. Hidden gem….don’t tell anyone😉

Like this campground, but space was too small for travel trailer plus truck. Parking can be a hassle. Flush toilets nice. Mostly empty midweek in June.

Campground and bathrooms were very clean. Camp host was the best, our second year with this great couple.
Evenings were quiet with all generators off before 10pm.
