Very pleasant stay. Site was close to level, electricity at site. At check in the Gate attendant pointed us to the water spigot to fill up our freshwater tank. Dump station at the park.

We reserved this site last minute and was happy to get a site. The view of the lake and the breeze was wonderful. The site is pretty level and no additional leveling was needed. The site was private and we had plenty of room. Nice table and firepit. Close walk to the bathroom facilities. The boat dock was very nice and we used each day.

Site is level but large drop off on steps side. Almost makes it impossible to get up and down steps. Drop off is almost a foot and dangerous. Please fix. Other than that the camp ground is very nice and clean. This is our favorite place to come.

I want to start by saying we were about an hr late getting to the campground because the road to the campground looks like you are going into a golf resort and they have a sign that states the road has a 10 ton weight limit, this is the only way in our motorcoach is 51,000 ibs. Booking was a breeze one of the best government web sites i have ever been on. make sure when you are booking your site look at the slope they are all listed. Many of the site are very unlevel
