This was a fantastic, quiet campground that made for an ideal place to stay as we were in town for a wedding. The lake looked lovely (wish we had time to paddle board on it!) and we thoroughly enjoyed the hiking trails. The camp hosts were very friendly and accommodating too!

This is a beautiful campground. The sites are large and offer privacy. The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Although there is no swimming in the lake, the trails through the woods to water were very nice. We plan to return.
