The camp host was very helpful in finding our spot. Restrooms/showers were very clean.

This might be the choicest non-FHU site in the campground, with a clear view of the lake. It does slope slightly but not as bad as you'd first expect. Electric was a constant 124 volts and my power management outlet showed no errors. Water pressure was high. Bathrooms and shower house are cleaned every day before dawn. Ranger drove though a couple times a day. The bike trail is very nice, it's great for e-bikes and walkers too.

Large pull-through site, facing the trees so very private. Gravel area around the picnic table and fire pit.

Great experience overall! Great sites and EXTREMELY clean bathroom/shower facilities. My only complaint is the Tent sites have gravel base. Given tents require stakes, it was extremely difficult to get stakes into the ground.

We have stayed in this campground previously. The showers were recently renovated, this was not an improvement. When we stayed here previously, the showers were clean, good water pressure. This time they were clean, but the water pressure was terrible. The new setup has 4 individual rooms with a toilet, sink, and shower. Throughout our stay members from our group used each of the 4 rooms and the experience was the same in all 4. If this is meant to be a water saving it fails because we all had to take longer than normal showers to get the shampoo rinsed out of our hair. Please adjust the showers. We love coming here for the bike trail and fall colors. The campgrounds are some of the nicest we've visited with this one exception.
