This was the best maintained COE campground we have ever visited. The grounds are mowed weekly and the bathrooms are serviced daily, including sweeping down webs inside and outside the facilities. The camp hosts and park ranger patrolled the park regularly and even stopped to visit and really make us feel at home. We will visit again!

Beautiful and well maintained campground. Loved that there was a laundry room, as we are full time RV’ers.

Nice work on keeping it clean. Hats off to the hosts. ATT had a great signal here. A couple of hot spots but when the trees grow up should be good. This is at site 7 full hookup. Had to keep moving to get out of the heat. Basically the way you park is that you are on southern exposure all day long. Overall great. Had an extra spot for us when we decided to stay a day longer as well

Check in and check out was painless, in fact, since we arrived late in the night, the host dropped off all of our registration info to out site. Saved us a trip to the main office. Site 64 has an awesome view to the lake. Campgrounds we’re clean and we had nice neighbors. I would recommend this campground to others, as well as site 64…be advised it’s electric only though.

Our campsite was immaculately groomed, no trash anywhere. We even had someone to clean out our firepit each morning' The showers and restrooms were spotless after their twice daily cleaning. The camp hosts were knowledgeable about the area and were very helpful. We will go back.
