Nice campground. Nice lake. Our particular site, I believe 21 was not an ideal site. Difficult to back into, fairly unlevel for a camper with steps that need to be set flat, and the picnic table area a bit too far from camper. The site was too close to the next site, 22 especially when you see other sites so nicely spread apart.

Site next to us was reserved for the week, no one ever showed up. My son had to camp about 5 sites away. There needs to be a better way to police no-shows

The ground is so unlevel that you can hardly walk. It rained and it looked like a swamp. Was not graveled so it was a muddy mess the entire time we was there.

pad had more severe angle than anticipated so the wheels were off the ground. needed stones to make the stairs accessible
other than that excellent place to stay

Sites need rock, roads need to be wider and less tight curves

Nice site, long backed to the woods. Neighbor across the way had a barking dog. Very clean and quiet. We had a small campfire. Walked all thru the campground. Would like to come back and spend some time there.
