We love the paved sites that are level. Always a good time at this campground. I wish there was more than one dumpsite when leaving as lines can get long at times

The site was exactly what we expected. We had no plans to do anything away from the campgrounds. We walked, biked, played games onsite, enjoyed campfire and campfire cooking.

Nice campground, has many sites with shade, some directly on the water. There are 2 bathrooms, one is really old & grungy, the other is newer and in good shape, clean. The entrance is a tight turn for bigger rigs and the loops aren't that spacious. There is a tag axle motorhome in here now and he stuffed the rig & tow trailer (pickup inside) into a site but the tow trailer is back way onto the grass. The access road to the campground is very narrow, as are many of the surrounding roads. There is access to grocery and other shopping 7 to 8 miles away. T Mobile works good

This was our first visit to this campground and we will definitely return. The camp hosts were very friendly and the campground was super clean and quiet. The showers looked fairly new and were very clean.
