We were only able to spend one night and they wouldn’t issue a partial refund even though it said we were still eligible for one on the email. We’ve never had this issue before so that was frustrating. No map or signage of campsites when you arrive and it’s a loop with no turn around so difficult for us to figure out a way to get in with our camper. Definitely been to better.

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.

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.
