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

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.

We had a very good camping trip. Campsite was not too bad. We did notice that some of the campsites could use some work.
