Great campground with lots of big trees, there is quite a lot of road noise as our spot was close to highway, but on a more positive note great access to the water for many water sports

Very nice campground with clean restrooms and showers with hot water. There are even two dishwashing sinks available for campers to use. Very nice playground and excellent swimming beach for children as well as a good boat dock and wonderful kayaking areas. My wife and I walked the campground looking for trash to pick up, and there was hardly any to be found! The camp hosts are wonderful folks and very helpful.

The host were just wonderful. Tried their hardest to keep up with cleaning the restrooms, rained a lot and the ground debris was everywhere. Very close to the road so during the day it was very loud but quieted down at night. Pretty, good hot showers (free), on the water and easy drive to store.

Love this small campground! Love the amenities including; showers, nice bathrooms and washing dishes sink! Always have a great time here for the 4th of the July, but not as much this time. The campground host was different this time, unfortunately. We had to set up our (we had 2 sites between our group; side by side) tents in the rain. It took over an hour before the host to come over to our site to check us in. We had 2 tents and bug net set up. The host then told us we had to move our tents inside the log area. We've never had to do this before, but it would have been great if he came over when we checked in at 3pm. We never had any other conversations with them for the next 4 days. The hosts are usually so nice and polite. It ruined the small close nit campground feel.

Campground was very nice and the hosts were great. I had a campsite next to some people who thought they needed to play music until late at night and the traffic noise is noticeable on one side of the campground. It would be nice if they put up a high wooden type fence along the road.
