We camp here very often at least once a month since we are local and its a nice place to camp. We where so excited to get out and go camping from being cooped up inside all winter! And we where they first campers in the place, but when we got to our site I guess they either had to cut down a tree or it fell. And our site was still covered in tree debris. We picked up and picked up sticks for hours! It was hard to even walk around and set up, it was on both sides of the camper! I don't know how they would even cut the grass around the area. I was even tempted to go buy a rake to get it cleaned up enough. The only good that came out of it was we didn't have a problem getting our fires started! I know this is just petty but it was just a little aggravating! We still had a good weekend!

We had a lakefront site. The area is beautiful and sites are spread far apart. We will definitely return if we were in the area.
