However, some guests noted the lack of swimming due to water quality issues and expressed concerns about the campground's maintenance and accessibility to the water.

We rented the large pavilion area. It was nice to have the shade, tables, and drinking water. Camp hosts were nice. If there was just a little effort put in to the grounds and the water area, it could be really great, but it's fine for what you pay. The beach is dirt, but the water is a comfortable temperature. The access area from the campground is through a tiny opening and kind of a pain to get through with a stroller or wagon, but...again, it's cheap.

The campground was clean and not crowded. The lake was also nice, even though there is not really a beach and the dock was taken down, but the water temp was perfect. Cell phone reception was a nice bonus. The pit toilets stunk (of course), and the lock was broken. There is no where to put trash so it was a hassle packing it out (we drove it to Snowville before packing up). And there was not a lot of shade.

Great hosts. Cleanest bathrooms at a camp site that I have ever seen. We will be back!
