Fishing was always pretty good in years past, this year wasn’t as good, still caught fish, they’re just alot smaller. I paid for an rv spot with electric and one day had no electric. So kinda disappointed.

Beautiful campground with a lovely lake and plenty of nearby trails to explore.
I stayed at site 19, which is conveniently close to the toilets. However, the restroom lights stay on all night and are quite bright. It didn’t bother me too much, but it might be nice if they were on a timer or a manual switch for the comfort of nearby campers. If you’re sensitive to light, I’d recommend choosing a site a little farther from the toilets.
