I didn't have my America the Beautiful card. I have never needed it before once the reservations are made so I had to pay full price.

Very beautiful view. Right on the water. We have an Rv so it was a bit more of an incline than we were aware of. It that was our fault.

It was very convenient to have a golf course right near the camping. 27 holes gave us a good variety of golfing. The camping areas were very good. Paved not gravel sites. Very Scenic

This particular site was in a beautiful location next to the lake. The only downside was the high winds. The bathrooms were clean and the water was hot.
