Overall very pleased with campground and site. The site has great views, access to lake about 25 yds down a steep rocky trail. Beach access much better just a short walk away. Bathrooms were pretty clean, although always saw spiders and insects inside. Maybe spraying around building would help.

Great campground.... the site we chose was close to the beach, so beautiful.
The shower/restroom combo were perfect; nice & clean, also maintained. We definitely will return.

Camped for two nights in a small trailer, only had an electrical hook-up. There are many full hook-up and elec-water sites, but we didn't need water or sewer since we were there for only a short time. The sites we saw were plenty large, gravel, with picnic table and fire ring and lantern hook, well spaced out. The lake is the main attraction, of course, and we visited and shopped in Shelbyville, overall a very pleasant experience.

I haven't stayed yet, however, in making our reservation, I selected the wrong date. After selecting the correct date, they were very good about refunding my money for the incorrect reservation.
