The campsite was nice, mostly shaded, and for the most part clean. My major issue was how narrow the site was. In order to reach the hook ups I had to pull to the rear of the site and when I walked out my trailer door I was in my fire pit, which no one had ever cleaned. In order to walk on the pad I had to pull the picnic table off of the pad. But the new bathrooms were wonderful and there was a nice amount of space between the sites. So overall I was happy with my experience.

The campsite was not cleaned up. There were several larger branches on the parking area and picnic table. There was also a tiki torch tossed in the grass. I remember when the spots were cleaned up after every visitor.

Only one boat at a time on the ramp! Very small dock and a Looong way UP...to the parking lot, so you could be in for a wait to get in or out of the water. Good protected cove to launch however. Camping is a bargain for full hook up..and 1/2 price with interagency pass! Clean showers , nice level sights for the most part. Some sites you could beach your boat below and walk up to.
