The camp site was big and the views of the lake were beautiful. It wasn't noisy either. There were some mosquito so bring the spray.
Hiking around the lake is a must and next time we are getting a water craft (raft, kayak, or paddle board) as you can see the bottom of the crystal clear water all the way out.

We love this campground and the camp hosts were very nice and helpful when our car battery died, they gave us a jump! One of the best lake campgrounds in the state.
