Still have the same problem with dogs. People are not keeping their dogs on leashes and they are running around to other people's campsite or running out after people walking on the road. The leash rules are not being enforced.

The park as a whole was immaculate, and staff was very accommodating. Sites are paved and spacious. Ours was long enough to set our 26' trailer, park our Ford F-150, and room to spare. We had a back in site with water view, electric only but the campground does have some full hookup sites

Nice campground. Something needs to be done about the dump station. You come in through the gate and then have to go back out to get water. There is one line to dump and get water.
Political signs should not be allowed in the campgrounds.

Beautiful site. Level, paved, shaded and lakefront. The new shower house was great. Grassed area were a little tall, but no weeds. Favorite site we've stayed at thus far.
