Very nice campground with most sites well spaced. Great views of the lake from just about everywhere. Staff all friendly and facilities neat and tidy. Much easier to book a site on this side of the lake and lots of First Come First Serve if you just want to show up. 20 minute drive to Carlyle for anything you would need. We will be back!!

This campground is wonderful and clean. Most of the sites are level and require very little work when setting up your RV. You may want to watch the wind forecast to determine which site to reserve.

Great sight with plenty of yard space at each sight to spread out and play games. All the roads are paved so it easy for the kids to ride bikes and scooter. The bathrooms are cleaned daily. The playground area for the kids could have a few more things the kids to play on.
