All campsites are easily walking distance to the water. It was very quiet there.

Some sites are very difficult to back a camper into, even in the daytime. Pay attention to the site you pick vs. the camper you own.

We arrived on a Friday afternoon. The campground host, Sarah came over to introduce herself and gave us so very informative information of things to do around the area. The campground was in great condition and felt like we had enough privacy. The campground has many areas for easy access to the lake. Unfortunately the weekend we spent here, it was pretty windy and rained off and on several times.
I felt a little harrassed by Sarah. We were not loud at all and she came over to our campground 2 out of 3 nights telling us we had x amount of time to be quiet. The second night she said she couldn't come all the way up to our campground due to our dog - we DO NOT have a dog. She kind of threatened us with the fact that she had two campers thrown out of the campground the night prior. I've never experienced anything like this and I'm a Colorado native that has been camping for 51 years. I get it if people are obnoxious, really loud, etc. We were a family with teen kids - not loud at all. Just talking and laughing.

The camp host was awesome, helped us get a couple of extra nights and a better campsite. The campground is very well maintained and a short walk to the lake and trails.
