Very clean, park personnel were very friendly, we had a great time! Public restrooms were clean. No electrical plugins for RVs so plan for that. Planning on going back for sure!!

The campsite was huge and we also had my folks and sister at the site next to us (21 & 22). We loved having all of that space for the kids to run and play or ride bikes. The water was at a good level so we had a blast at the ‘beach’ swimming, kayaking and canoeing. The bear lockers were awesome to have. And the bathroom was super clean. We had an absolute blast. Thank you to the hosts!

Spacious site for a RV and a tent with a gorgeous view of the water and the mountains in the background. Several trees on this site provided shade for the tent (#13 also has great tree shade). Very clean site and bathrooms. Friendly camp host. The shore near the campsite was too rocky for the kids to swim from, but there were several more sandy areas that were just a short walk away. I would recommend this campground, especially on weekdays.
The site is not graded for a perfectly flat parking area for the RV. It took awhile to find a decent spot and then then we needed to use several leveling ramps. Not a problem though, just don't expect a flat parking spot.
