Nice place, friendly host . Only thing there are no clear cut spots to put your tent and it becomes a bit weird if its booked full to decide who sets up where. clean bathrooms . not a lot of shade on this side for the tent campers . best side for shade is the north side but that's for rv and campers only

Great campsite! Restrooms were clean, other campers were polite, pretty spot right on the lake. Hot showers are the icing on the cake.

The dark sky was perfect for viewing the parade of planets. The campground was quiet, respectful and clean. The only thing I wish it had was more visible numbering on the campsites. We arrived after dark and couldn't see any site numbers so needed to look online to figure out which site was ours.

The hosts or volunteers who oversee the park were very rude and not very accommodating. We did not leave are campsite and were asked to move are tent 3 times in a very short period . Therefore I would not recommend this park due to the powerstruggling pair of hosts .

Lovely campground. Nice bath with hot showers - pretty clean, too! Only problem was rambunctious campers with SPOTLIGHTS and MUSIC going until midnight on Friday night. The camp hosts warned us there might be some shenanigans, but seems as if there was no monitoring of the situation after night fall. Not sure what could be done about it - - but those campers were pretty rude! I think a start might be to have folks park the way the sites are set up - so they can't hide behind a camper that is perpendicular to the campground road. ?? as a thought.

Work had been done where stone was put down and then 1 inch of dirt over it for tent sites. This is not enough to get stakes in. Staff aware of this problem yet did nothing to assist with moving to a better location stating I would have to pay for a whole other site. unimpressed with greed over appropriate sites also unimpressed with lack of help from staff
