Sad to see such a nice place in decline. Mismanagement, poor or
Lacking help, excuses and certainly campers with no regard or respect for the facilities or others appear to be root cause.
This park has become a dog park with inconsiderate pet owners; dog sh-t on the roads, the side of the roads, in the woods and pathways even in the shower (see pic).
The facilities post “no pets” and yes the signs have been tampered with but expect to see pet owners with their dogs in the bath rooms and showering their dogs in the facilities. Dogs barking on/off all day and night. Dogs off leash. If you call and notify the camp Hosts do not expect much help or reaction.
Expect to find human trash all around. The grass has not been cut but this could be on purpose (getting back to nature?) or just lack of management/personnel.
The inside dump station is closed and the outside dump station is backing up.
Cell service is adequate (T Mobile) and satellite service is sparse as expected due to foliage cover. Most sites are large and separated. The facilities; toilets, showers and laundry is aging and not well maintained.
As you enter the park the two signs read “no alcohol“ and “no guns” they need to add “no pets and/or pet owners“ as well. As always the users of this park need to chip in to keep this place open and clean. Please get this beautiful place back in order!

We absolutely love camping here but the gate attendants have gone way too far. They talk to guest like they own the place.

I thoroughly enjoyed the eight nights that we were there can’t wait until next year.
There is 2 things that I wish could be different grey water dumps closer and opened year round.

One of the best campsites at this very nice campground. Site is right on the lake with total privacy from most directions (just one neighboring site and parking nearby). Campground is well maintained. The only drawback some might have to this site is that the restrooms are a long walk away.

This is a nice, quiet park. Many sites are right on the water and almost all of them have a great view.
