Very quiet area and the grandkids had a fabulous time playing on the playground. Even though there were kids on the playground, their giggles and laughter did not bother us.

The spot that we were in was fine. The biggest issue we encountered was with the showers. My wife's shower room was poor with lots of issues, including bugs all over the sinks. My experience with my shower room was more positive although there were a fair number of bugs in the men's bathroom.

Clean, well kept camp grounds. Easy access from the interstate. Quiet and mostly shaded spots.

Spent 4 days there. Very clean campground with awesome views of the lake. We were in spot 84 which was great but the include made it a little difficult getting the camper completely leveled.

Beautiful campground on our way out west. Nice restrooms, but would be nice to have hand soap. Other than that, great experience. Our second time here.
