This was a very well kept park. We only stayed one night as we were traveling thru. Site was large enough for our total length HDT which is 72 foot long. No need to unhook.

Excellently maintained campsite and bathrooms. Close to the lake. Everyone was respectful and quiet at night. The playground was a great plus to entertain the kids while setting up camp.

Some highway noise and our campsite had been dropping persimmons, so a little messy.

My family and I love staying at the campground. It is manicured nicely, maintained, and has really nice bath houses.
