Wonderfully peaceful. Small campground with the most amazing dedicated tent pad sites. Love listening to all the song birds.

Like most COEs this is a really nice campground. We were in site 51 which is a FHU site. The site is small pea gravel, level and wide. The bathrooms are directly across but are very uninviting, and I did not use them. I would not follow your GPS. It takes you on route 5, which is a small, bad road. Take 128 instead to county rd 1650 (not 1600) and follow the signs. That road is not very good either, but it is only a 1/2 mile. We camped at Opossum Creek Campground in a Motorhome.

the site we chose #24 has a washed out section near the road and makes it very hard to get the camper and truck in to the site. You may want to fix it before washes out farther and some one gets stuck in it

This is a quiet campground with the basics. Boating is a main activity here, or just relaxing by the campfire in the evenings!
