Great experience but wish check in time could be earlier; like 1:00 so you have time to enjoy the day you arrive. Great wildlife and bike trails

Nice clean campground. All site pave and close to level, off a little to allow for drain of rain.

Very quiet, well-maintained campground with nicely spaced sites. Some sites are shady with beautiful lake views. Shower houses are clean. We camped in our RV and didn’t bring another vehicle, although there was plenty of space for one. The lake is nice for boating. We rented kayaks from Black Dog Kayak Rental (highly recommend) and had them delivered to our lakefront campsite. It was a fun family weekend.
