The first few nights were very hard as people were having parties and fights till 4am. There was lots of people drinking and leaving their trash. On top of that very dangerous JetSki and boaters, no one fallowing rules. After they were kicked out of the camp grounds it was a lot nicer. We were bumbed about their boat ramp closed but it wasn’t a big deal to go to the main one. Also bathrooms weren’t very clean. Smelled really bad, and very low shower pressure. Rangers kept changing rules, some would say we could park somewhere then the next shift came and said nope!
But campsite was clean, employees/volunteers were nice. Lake was clean.

The spot was clean and comfortable! Beautiful spot next to the lake. However, there was a disturbance that night with another camper who looked like they might "live" there. VERY loud motorcycle coming in around 11pm and waking the whole camp.

I liked the lay out of the campsites and they were all very clean. The drive through parking next to my site was great as I had a trailer.

Boondocking only. Pads aren’t level, no trees so to speak. Very unkempt. Lots of garbage scattered around.
Shower was adequate. Wildlife was great!
