Nice level site but wish it had some kind of hook ups. Host was very nice and helpful with us choosing our site due to the shade. It was a very hot couple of nights! Nice floating docks with a bathroom on one of them. Not very large area cleared out around the docks. Very bushy and treed.

Beautiful location. Very clean with a friendly host. The only issue we had was getting enough sun for our solar panels.

When making the reservation the description discusses the availability of docks and easy access to the Lake; there was NO mention the closest place to launch a boat was 13 miles away. BIG omission in my view. The walk from the camping area to the beach was a steep, dusty trail...not easy access.
The location was beautiful and the campground perched on a high rocky knoll above the Lake; we wished the description would have included NO BEACH, swimming limited to the dock area.
The Camp Host were cordial and for the most part keep things tidy like the restrooms...we did notice a fair amount of litter in some of the vacant sites.
