Excellent place to go camping in tents 10x10 ft or smaller and RVs under 26 ft. Well maintained roadways, sites, tent pads, RV/car driveways, scenic lake views, many sites with water access, clean bathrooms with hot water, boat ramp, and even a park next door. People that run the place are nice and friendly too. Dog friendly place, big dogs allowed, keep dogs on leash.

Beautiful campsites on the water. Sites are on the small side. We had site 34 which was big enough for our 24 ft tt. Restrooms were nice and very clean. Will be back next year.

Very friendly man at the gate. Site was clean and well-kept. The bathroom had no soap for a day. I told the gate person, and there was soap the next day.
