The hosts were quite rude and confrontational, really ruined the "camping" experience. If you want to camp with friends and have any fun then you need to find a different spot. Spaces limit one camper per site. We were harassed constantly by the hosts.

The campsite was great. My complaints have to do with the other campers. Some of the other campers were disrespectful by letting their kids run wild and screaming through other campsites. Also, the loud generators running most of the night made it difficult to enjoy ourselves.

It was a great location and being right on the water was amazing! The restroom was a vaulted toilet and it was very clean. Be prepared, there is not any running water or drinking water. The staff was wonderful and we had a blast!!

Water was low, and very few trees for shade. But otherwise beautiful.

We really like this place. Good facilities, great views! It would be five stars if it had electric hookups.
