Campground overall was great and the site was nice. Biggest flaw is the gate being closed and locked between 10pm & 7am... We ended up having to move to another campground because of that. Probably won’t be staying again.

Location was great. The sites were paved, shaded, and there was always a breeze off the lake. However, the sites were generally very short and could only handle the camper or RV and not the tow vehicle. Also, the sites were slanted opposite to the typical direction and required turning around to back into.

We love this campground! The hosts were great, the sites are clean and being lakeside is never a bad thing :-)

Terrible experience .
Our camp site was full of poisen ivy . My entire family got it and i ended up at the emergency room .
They did nothing to compensate .
KEPT GETTING HARASSED ABOUT THE NOISE WHEN IT WAS JUST MY KIDS AND I NEXT TO THE FIRE TALKING . AND THEY SAID WE WHERE LOUD . .

We stayed on campsite 37. It was super unpleasant as the campsite was hard to back into, but more so before the campsite was backwards. The hangout space with the fire pit was on the opposite side of the door openings of the camper.
