We have a class A 45 ft and since our first site I picked was not level enough she found us a better site. I will say the sites are not level so be prepared for that. However it is a great park and always full. They say it is also great fishing.

This is a beautiful park on a beautiful lake. We found the facilities to be very clean and well stocked during our stay. Our campsite, #52 in the Cardinals loop was a mostly level concrete pad and offered both 30 and 50 amp electric hookups at the pedestal. I would caution that many, if not all, of the campsites along the water are steeply sloped toward the lake making them more suitable to shorter towable units. Motorized units will have an extremely difficult, if not impossible, task to safely level the unit. There is a public golf course less than a half mile from the campground if you want to get a round in while camping, and it offers a clubhouse with restaurant where you can grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner if you feel like skipping a night of cooking. My visit was before the summer season, so the campground was almost empty during the week, but it filled up Friday and Saturday night. I am sure a location this beautiful is full almost every night during the summer. Site #52 in the Cardinal loop offered clear views of the sky for Starlink.
