Great spot, small and quiet. Easy access to the reservoir and the cleanest bathroom i have ever seen at a campground.

The campground was small but very nice. It's close to the lake for fishing and boating. The hosts did a great job of keeping the toilets clean but they are vault toilets so when you are down wind, you will smell it. The mosquitos were brutal! Bring lots of bug spray.

Great campground with easy access to the reservoir due to the lake being at 100% this summer. Kayaked and fished right off our campsite (site #1). Some road noise and unleashed dogs were the only negatives.

The Hosts were great and helpful, but their Management company needs to learn to do better business. The bathroom needed to be pumped, one of the stalls was so full it had to be closed. And the trash dumpsters were all full, with a locked closed trash can empty! We had to give the Host our trash ( which they gracefully took). Not a very good company if they are trying to cut costs by waiting to the last minute to provide required amenities.
