This was the 5th consecutive year we have stayed here. We love this campground. This was the first year our great grandchildren were able to stay with us. They loved camping next to the lake & going over to the beach. For best choice of campsites remember to reserve early.

great halfway point for my usual South to North journey right off I-57. No hassle and beautiful. Want to come sometime when i have more time to explore.

Grass needed mowed which made the mosquito and bugs bad we left early

The campground is nice; however, checking in after hours was challenging to know what to do.

Our camp spot was on a little slope, but it wasn't bad at all. The location was great. We were close to a bathroom and a playground so it was perfect for the kids. Overall we had a great time and even got to watch a meteor shower at night!

The campground is really nice and well taken care of and that is a 5 star review, but many of the site pads have such a steep incline it is hard to level your camper so check the incline if able before you pick your site.
