Was disappointed in this camping experience. Other campers walking through other peoples campground; dogs roaming around off leash starting fights with other dogs, same dogs cornering people in bathrooms, and owners allowing them to walk into other campsites - walking on tents people are trying to setup, letting them pee and poop in other campsites; bathrooms were disgusting, showers missing shower heads, people taking toilet paper rolls, and leaving toilets unflushed; people letting their children play on other people’s water floats and allowing their children (under 6) to walk in the road way while other concerned parents are walking them around trying to find their parents.
A lot of the sites are unlevel which is semi typical for lake side camping. Boaters not paying attention or just not knowing about no wake zones.
As an FYI - Campground gates close at 10p and don’t open again until 8a(?). You can drive out but not back in due to tire spikes. You can however park in visitor parking and walk in (or have someone in the campground drive around to pick you up.
Plus side is that the grocery store is very close (about 5-7min drive) for restocking of food, ice and stuff.
Pay attention to campsites - there were quite a few that had absolutely no shade which is tough in the summer.
Strangely did not encounter any mosquitos at night although there seems to be a gnat surge for about an hour or so after nightfall. Non white lights were best to avoid them.
There was no gate person on Thursday or Friday when majority of our group checked in (between noon and 4p). Luckily we knew our campsite numbers and just followed signs to our spots- did take a little while though.

A good place. Beautiful, all places are prepared for the camp. It's clean around. But the toilets are dirty, the toilets are clogged. There is a shower in the shared toilet. Beach - sharp stones. Entry into the water with sharp rocks and abrupt depth transitions.

I had booked a campground near the bathroom and the bathrooms were closed for all 4 days. That sucked!
Campgrounds were nice and clean.

Super hot sun in the morning at site 81 but shady all day after 12. but water was absolutely perfect warm with cold spots. Rangers we’re super nice and driving around periodically. Other campers were nice and quiet every night too. And bathrooms were cleaned and stayed clean the whole time. 10/10

Our family makes this trip annually. Beautiful scenery and the view is even more amazing at night. Great for star gazers. Grounds have all basic necessities with the exception of electricity. Come prepared. Would definitely recommend.

Bathrooms were filthy and none of the toilets or urinals worked.
There were a large quantity of people per site that could not be supported by the campground resources (garbage and bathroom).
There were people at our camp site, telling us they booked the site too, but could not provide any documents. Getting a hold of rangers was nearly impossible and this was at 3:00pm.
