This was probably the worst campsite I've ever seen: no shade, no privacy, no room... Nope!

I almost don't want to leave a review so people don't know how good it is.

This is a nice campground. The sites are fairly close to each other, so if you get noisy neighbors, it can be annoying.
The facilities are well maintained, and service staff is pleasant and organized. We like the location, as it is close to several great hikes. We did not spend any time on the lake.

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.
