This is a beautiful campground, near the lake. Decent cell service, clean restrooms, a nice playground and a variety of sites. The sites had been leveled and were well graveled. Lots of shade.

Very nice campground. Camp hosts do a great job and take pride in their campground. Very clean and quiet place to stay. Would definitely stay here again. The entrance of site 7 and 8 need to be widened a few feet. Very tight and high chance of body damage for 40 footers. Saw one class A get into the high spot on 7 creating a few thousand worth of damage.

I would definitely visit again. Nice, quiet, woodsy sites. Fully functioning bathroom block. Water pumps in several places in the campground. The hosts onsite were welcoming and informative. Sites were well maintained and clean; the place felt secure. Gate closes at 9 PM.
Just a few miles to town. There's plenty to do on the grounds - hiking trails, boat launch, basketball court, disc golf course. The lake looked really nice.

We love this campground. It is always very quiet and the hosts are great. The bathrooms are always clean and there’s plentiful for hot water for showers. There’s plenty of great hiking. Deary Brothers ice cream in the nearby town is excellent!
