The volunteers did a good job, but paid hosts would add a sense of permanence and consideration that campers would appreciate. This Campground should remain open longer in the fall and open earlier in the spring.

Beautiful Lake, gorgeous views, excellent for boating, swimming, paddle boarding, and other water activities.

Wonderful lakeside campsite. Plenty of space and very clean! Easy access throughout camping area and very dog friendly.

We arrived late on a Saturday night and the power plug wasn’t working. We reported it and maintenance came out to fix it first thing Sunday morning! Excellent response!!

Bathrooms were cleaned daily and were in excellent working condition. Camping area in general is clean and well maintained.

Can’t wait to visit again!!
