WE LOVE TO CAMP AT THIS CAMP GROUND - THE ONLY DOWN SIDE THIS TIME WAS THE SEVERAL HOLES IN THE PAVEMENT PRIOR TO GETTING TO THE GATE (PLEASE FIX/FILL IN FOR THE NEXT CAMPERS AS WE ARE 75 YEARS OLD AND THAT MAY BE ARE LAST TRIP DOWN FROM NEW YORK STATE FOR US TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS DONE. THANK YOU

We loved it here. Site 57 loop C. We have a 43’ fifth wheel and we were able to back in easily. We had a narrow view of the water and path that leads to a shallow pool from the lake. Honestly we loved the seclusion this site offers. We’ll be back.

the gate agent----" Brenda" was exceptionally helpfull....a smile and a willingness to help us find a campsite at the end of a long days drive was "the lite at the end of the tunnel"....we showed up without a pre- reservation and she made it happen....the perfect "ambassador"....the campsite with hookups was neat and clean as well.....

Site 46 was very steep with a drainage ditch just right of center. We had a challenging time getting into the site in our 40 ft Motorhome. Besides that is was the most beautiful site we have been in in four years. It was on the lake, with lots of room and so peaceful. We will definitely be back.

This is a beautiful, well maintained park. The dock near our camp site was broken. It might be a good idea to fix it before someone gets hurt on it
