Amazing lake front views. Great for paddle boarding/kayaking.
We stayed here 2 nights and loved it. Park has bathroom, showers, and laundry. The site has lovely views, hookups, grill, fire pit, and picnic table.

Overall it's fine.
However, the tree branches in the park were not cut, so it hit the rv roof.
