Loved the campground, the lake and the area! The camp host was great! Camp spots awesome! Plenty of space for larger trailers. We were able to walk to the lake. There were little docks where the kids could jump in. Only one complaint… people can’t seem to read the 10 mph signs. Come on! It’s a campground… lots of kids at play. Go slow people!
