The park is beautiful and well maintained. Easy access to all the surrounding parks and fishing areas. The fish weren't biting when we were there but of the course the day after we left our friends who stayed another week really had fun catching the fish that we missed. We will defiantly be back next year.

Nice campground. Our site (99) was level, power was good and bath house was a short walk. Couldn’t ask for anything more.
