We were at lot 40. Best view in my opinion. It super fun and clean with super friendly people. The only problem we had was that we had to pack up and leave. We will definitely be back here. Great place for first time campers!!

Great site, right next to water with semi private beach. Mostly shaded, sun during midday. No electricity or water.

Besides having to Cancel my Reservation and be charged a $30 fee to switch sites......There is no reason to charge anyone for switching sites. The site I picked online showed a parking pad in the picture. When I got to Sawnee, the road to the site was now closed and it was a walk in site. Like 150+ meters. I'm not set up for that type of camping, besides the fact that I need a knee. The Hosts were great, as usual. Love that $1.50 a load for laundry..
