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.

Beautiful lake, plenty of space, and open views. What more could you ask for? This is a lovely campground like the many surrounding the lake. Great location and easy access. I believe most cell service providers get connection out here as well.

Nice Campsite, pretty close to the lake. The path to the lake is rough, so beware of tree roots and uneven soil. The beach at the lake is wonderful, but shared with the day use area, so beware of crowds on the weekends. The only negatives were the fact that some people (out of state plates for the most part) speed through the loop which is very dangerous with all the blind corners and children running around. Also, we've stayed at 3 total sites here, and 2 of them had the picnic tables on the wrong side of the camper doors. Not the end of the world, but it is inconvenient to constantly have to walk around to the other side of your camper to get to the family. This could have been easily fixed with a little forethought and a skid steer to swap the gathering area and the driveway.
