The grounds were beautiful and the host was a gem but the road noise was more than we expected. Would still return!!

Very nice facility and camping area. It's very close to the highway and there was a lot of road noise. Suggest getting camping spot as far from the highway as possible.

Nicely renovated, park facilities are great and Camp Hosts are awesome! having more bushes and trees will be a plus for the park, let then grow. Keep in the good work

This is a beautiful campground that was recently updated. Showers,flush toilets and a delightful beach area. Fishing is possible as well as boats launching.
However...sometimes the nearby highway noise is like Indy 500.
Stay at high numbered spots further from the road.
Number 10 is the best.
Check out Riley Creek campground just down the road.
