Seriously overgrown grass and bathrooms only cleaned twice a week…thankfully we have a wet bath in our camper and we’re only staying for the weekend. Sad as this was on of our favorite campgrounds, hoping it gets improved maintenance for next year. The campground hosts were wonderful and helpful though.

With weeds two feet high everywhere, this is not the campground I used to enjoy. my poor little dogs were shorter than the grass/weeds. Will not return if this is the new normal. Sad. Office staff was very nice.

Every lot is worth having , beautiful sites right next to water, only thing they need a lawn service but can't afford it , seems like county would have the hall co inmates out their cutting and trimming but over all I rate this place a 10 !!

The camp hosts are such sweet people, they make the visit wonderdul. The deferred maintenance though.. definitely a bit disappointing. The grass is incredibly overgrown and the restrooms were not very well maintained.

This is one of the prettiest places I have stayed. Very clean, beautiful views and a friendly staff. We have started here on 2 trips and can’t wait to go back.

We stayed in campsite #4 Sunday to Monday. Very quite during the week. The campsite is a little uneven for parking a 40 ft fifth wheel. Campground was very clean and great staff. Not a very good view of the lake from the site and step hill to walk to the lake.
