The sites were great and the camp host very friendly. The lodge at the bottom of the hill has great a kitchen but gets pretty rowdy on Friday night. The bar crowd dies down around 1:30. Bring some ear plugs if that's not your party scene.

What a great little campground. The parking area is just a short walk to all of the tent sites. There are 2 areas for water and just a short walk to the VERY clean bathrooms. The only draw back was the cabins below at the lodge and their dogs. There are signs every where saying dogs must be on a leash at all times. However, the cabin people must of not seen these because we had dogs in the camp site at all times. We left our furry friends at home only to end up having to deal with other people's dogs. Other than that, this campsite is definitely worth it. The view of the lake is absolutely beautiful.

The campsites are well maintained and maintenance / volunteer are excellent. There was a really loud group one night - morning lasting till 1:30 or 2:00 am. This was a really disappointing experience.

It is a beautiful well-maintained campground. We did experience a tremendous storm that blew through, but we were safe. Beautiful views, clean vault toilets, great fishing! It is a little tough having to carry in your equipment from the parking lot to the tent pad, so bring a wagon or cart.

The lake was beautiful and calm, bathrooms were clean, and the camp host was friendly. Walking from our car to our campsite was quick and easy. The views! Gorgeous! Most of the campsites were vacant while we were there (June 8-13). We didn’t take our kayak out because it was cold and rainy most of the time but the lake looks great for kayaking!
Some things to note - fire wood was unavailable to purchase but we lucked out and were able to scavenge some from vacant campsites. It was quite loud on the weekend because of people partying at the lodge. Our fist night a large group of women and children were camping and they got very drunk and screamed at each other all night and their kids were peeing on the trees next to the campsite. They let their dog roam around off leash and didn’t clean up after it. The camp host is off site so no one official to get them to behave. At least it was only one night. Next time we will plan a night to eat in the restaurant at the lodge. No cell service.

Other than in wind storms with thunder and lightning and rain, we had a great time. The lake is beautiful. The campground is clean and well maintained. Will definitely be going here again. Very peaceful.
