Beautiful site, restrooms very clean and mostly not very stinky. Campground could use more potable water access points and more restrooms (IMO), noise from boats on the lake started early and continued past dark (but that's kinda to be expected). Access to the lake for swimming is not real good, trail is a trifle steep from campground and foliage along lake front must be navigated for lake access, there's no real "beach", and while access to the 2 docks is easy, I didn't see any ladders to help use either dock as ways to exit the lake after swimming. I booked both sites 7 and 8 on the Lower Loop, as we were camping with another couple, it's nice that sites 6-8 are semi-connected while remaining fairly private from each other. Access to sites 6 and 7 are semi-steep walk-ins, which is why I chose site 8 for myself, as it has the least steep access (I am 70 yr old female w/bad hips and back, hahaha). Overall we all had a very enjoyable experience, western views and sunsets were magnificent and other than boat noise, a very quiet and serene campground. Highly recommend!

The campground is clean, quiet and perfectly nestled in the Pine trees for shade and comfort and a natural feeling camp experience. The camp host is very nice and very responsible, keeping things clean, organized and well supplied. We will go back. Our spot was absolute perfection, providing for a perfect view of the lake, a well planned out spot for our tent, a nice fire ring that we could cook on, especially nice for morning percolated coffee!! And close to the trail that takes you down to the docks. Getting to the water is not something a challenged person could do here, however. The bank over the lake is steep and the trail down to the docks is not wheelchair friendly. We enjoyed watching the wild turkeys wander across the banks over the lake and watching the Osprey fish each evening near the docks on the bay. Great spot for us and we 100% will return.

Campsite was okay. Wish there was an actual swimming area for the kids. Bathrooms were not the cleanest,but not so bad you couldn't go inside. No real place to hike. If you have a boat it would be fun.
