Campground was great, lake was beautiful and a 5 min walk from camping. Lake was NOT busy in morning and evening. Not much to do right around the campground and no verizon service. Camp host was friendly.

This place is amazing!! The campground has very mature trees and most of the campsites offer a decent amount of privacy thanks to said trees. The lake is just gorgeous and there's more than enough beach for everyone. My dog and I enjoyed several hours at the dog beach. Wood was available for purchase from the camp host, but I could tell that wasn't his favorite thing to do. Can't wait to go back!!

Campsite had so much dog poop all over, it was disgusting. Hopefully it was just dog poop. Too many people who wouldn’t pick up after their dogs, wouldn’t keep their dogs on a leash, took their dogs into the lake (not allowed) and were loud and obnoxious after 10pm.

Great campsite, short walk to the lake, plenty of room between us and the next sites. Only issue was some people driving their dirt bikes around the camp

Campground was full every night. Beach area was dominated by easy ups and people leaving their belongs for a week staking their area. There is no rangers at the campground, so people break the rules without regard.

The campground and lake were great. Just beautiful! The camp host did not drive around enough to enforce quiet hours. There was a lot of trash near the bathrooms at the beach. Please toss out your trash people. There are dumpsters at the beach and at the campground. There is a dog beach. Dogs are NOT allowed on the people beach. Please be respectful and keep our beaches and campgrounds clean and safe for others.
