Campground was great. I gave 4 stars because the bathouse could be cleaner.

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.

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

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.

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.
