The site had power issues. We lost power on the 3rd night. I notified the camp host in the morning. A ranger came by and was able to have a maintenance person come out to troubleshoot and attempt to repair the power post. He found the power pole was showing @48v on the metal frame of the post. He replaced post and intermittently it was still showing @48v on the metal frame of the post.

Site 10, great level spot! Nice shady site. one site away from the bathhouse. My only complaint would be that the campground map indicated a water hookup near the site, but the hookup had been relocated to the other side of the bathhouses and was not operational. Overall, this did not affect our experience. I like the added benefit of being able to stretch a hose to fill back up if needed!

We awanted to move out lacation to a spot that was vacated. We found spot was vacant both physically and on the website...but the rangers still did not let us move our camp to that location because according to them, it's still paid for few days. 🤦🏽♂️...so why was it available on the website?

Love the campground but it needs to have fish cleaning station. Why was it removed this is the largest campground on the lake.

My only complaint is that the power hook up is at the entrance of the site when they are usually at the back corner. I didn't have the proper extension cord so by the time my 16ft camper and SUV parked in front of it my front tires were on the road. Otherwise it was a great site with great views.
