The camping area and restrooms were very well maintained. The fishing was a little less than what we expected; however, we learned that there hasn't been any stocking since about July 4th. We were fishing in the bait area.

Be prepared to pay an entrance fee of $8 even when you pay for a camp site and no Credit Cards are NOT excepted. There is a corner store at the front of the roads entrance, however they charge a min to get cash back, no ATM. Lady at the entrance has some passive aggressive comments that could have been kept to herself. Campground is well kept and overall very beautiful.
