Just a one night stay while traveling. Clean and well maintained. If you are looking for seclusion, the sites are a tad close to each other from what I saw. Paved drives into all campsites. Some sites have a 6% grade on them, so setting up an RV to level may be a challenge for some. Solid wheel chocks are an absolute must. Interstate noise is a constant.

Campsite #79 was awesome! Beautiful grove of taller trees between you and the lake with nothing in-between. The campgrounds were clean, maintained, and very pleasant. I will be back sometime for sure!

Camped twice in November 2024. Camp is well maintained and very clean. Most sites are quite open, but spacious. Many sites have significant slope - especially those near the lake. Excellent value.

We camped at site 083 on the last 5 days of the season. The park was almost empty, but all facilities were available and the park was clean and fully staffed. Our site was on the lake front, with a beautiful view of the sunsets but very windy when the was wind from the west.
