Clean and well maintained site. They even have people that come clean out the ashes after your campfire a couple of times a week.

We had the best camp site over looking the water. The campground was very clean easy to get around in and set up. We were there early week to just before the weekend so it was not very busy. Weather was perfect!!!!

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.

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.
