Always a good time at the lake. We take this trip every year.

The RV pads are very narrow and there's not much room to fit your truck. The campground area was very small and not big enough for a family of 6. I highly recommend driving through the campsite and picking your camp site based on your needs. If we didn't have a trailer, the area wouldn't have been sufficient for more than 1 tent. The rangers are rude and there were several people with dogs that weren't leashed.

We spend a week here every year. The overall campground has gone down the last few years. The bathrooms are not as clean. Cobwebs in bathrooms. Missing toilet paper at times. A year ago they told us they didn’t have cleaners on contract. The entrance booth is manned on Friday nights only. Roads and campsites are fine.

Overall it was OK, but the site was loaded with cigarette butts and there was dog poop on my site. Also, the urinals were disgusting. You asked.....

Was a nice visit with my family. Although I was flagged down by a ranger while i was checking out the neighboring campground, and was told about an incident that was not even my fault where, I was The Victim! Was told that my family would be evicted if there was another incident. I was targeted and was talked to like a criminal. I even extended my families stay and was targeted by other rangers 2 days after extending our stay.

We had a nice time. This was a disabled spot and the rv parking spot was level. It was very nice to have the concrete around the fire pit and picnic table. It wasn’t too difficult to get to the water from there either, and the site had water views. The restroom was very close to the site. There was plenty of room for the family to set up their tents, and we had a nice, relaxing stay. Things were fairly quiet at night also, but the people were respectfully enjoying themselves.
