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 mi 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.

LOVED this place and this site. Nice and roomy. Perfect for my van. Nice swimming dock. Tons of cell service to work. 10/10 would return.
