Don’t come in summer, there’s no shade. Also the ground isn’t flat. Otherwise pretty nice location and lake view.

Family had a great camping trip.
I couldn't fill all stars due to the bathroom conditions and levels of unsanitary it was left in for the weekend. We didn't see staff come to thoroughly clean it until Monday morning. Our final day. All other days in between the bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper once a day. With the crowds of campers, I would think for health and sanitary purposes the bathroom should be restocked more and cleaned daily.
Other than that we had a great camping experience with the family and loved the fun on the water. Family is already talking and planning another trip. Think we might be bringing our own showers and portable toilets if needed for a much more sanitary experience.

Site 50 was great because it offered extra space. We had originally booked site 101 and immediately wanted to move. Site 101 offered no space to even set up tents, especially if site 102 is booked (which it was when I arrived). Thankfully, we were able to switch to site 50 and were much happier. Bathrooms are pretty basic and pretty much what you would expect for a campground.
My only complaint was rowdiness from other campers well past quiet hours.

The campground itself is always great. Site 102 is pretty small but we were able to comfortably fit a 2 person tent. The site is pretty much as close to the water as you can get. 102 has a tree that is invested with ants right next to the table that you are unable to move so that is something to be aware of but it did not effect us. You get the perfect sun rise view from this site. My only complaint is that this campground requires dogs to be leashed however last year we had an a counter with an unleashed dog running up to our dog and the same thing happened this year as well except this time the dog ran right up to our tent and the owners did not care. Besides the unleashed dogs this is a great campground and 102 is a great site.
