Very friendly and helpful hosts, Doug and Linda. The site was amazing with an overview of the lake from a higher spot. The campground itself was well kept but the bathrooms/showers were not cleaned for two days. Needed attention. Otherwise, superb place. Watch out for yellow jackets this time of year. And look for the friendly deer who greet you at the gate.
