Nice little spot. Bathrooms and shower house amazingly clean. The lady that they contract to do the cleaning (Laura, if I remember correctly) is very friendly to campers. Hosts were great folks. Sites clean and have fire ring with grill top. Not a lot of easy access to trails, swimming, and other recreation; mostly just the marina and a boat launch. So if you want to be able to walk from your site to a beach or trail; you might want to check out Coles Creek down the road but if you want a quieter, less active place to just chill then this is the spot. Plus the day - use rec area is a very short drive so it's a nice happy medium where you can have a less active site if you're feeling introverted and just want relaxation but close to other activities should you decide to swim, hike, or find other activities. Would definitely do again.

Beautiful, well kept park. Would have prefered paved, but the gravel was not a deal breaker. Water view in 3 directions. I will go back as soon as I can get a reservation.

Very nice campground. Well treed and maintained. Campground roads and many sites are asphalt, some are gravel. Ours (52) was level side-side, but sloped down to the back of the site significantly. Restroom/laundry facilities are excellent. Staff was friendly, thorough and professional. Only other criticism would be regarding the dump station. The available water hose is only usable to wash "spills"; because of the permanent nozzle, it cannot be used for tank flushing if the RV has that feature.

Boulder is a favorite of ours, we camp there quite often in the summer. Grounds are always well maintained as is the shower houses. Many campsites right on the water and so relaxing, very quiet. Campground hosts very friendly and helpful. Wonderful place!

Many of the sites were tightly packed and very sunny. Bicycle riding was ok, but very little places to go.
