Nice level campsites and quiet campground. Restrooms was clean. Love the fact that we could sit around the campfire and look at the lake.

It was very difficult walking around the tree roots it was very dangerous because my husband and I have problem wit un level ground site 14 has very uneven spots to trip and fall down you couldnt sit at the table to many rocks so the table was useless to us just that campsite needs to be fixed I love you can get to the boat but the path is very uneven and dangerous for older people the roots were terrible

This spot is perfect!! They are right next to flushable restrooms with a drinkable water fountain and a water spicket. A couple sites down and there is the lake. It was a perfect place to bring our dog as well. We will be visiting again! Thank you
