This was just an overnight stop for us but it seems like a really nice campground. We were at site 59, a pull through site. Nice woods to one side and lake view out in front. Very quiet and camp hosts were very friendly. There were a few lowish hanging branches but not too big of a deal. We did have to unhook our tow to make the turn around at the end of the road. Campground is ready to get to. The check in time of 5 pm is probably the biggest negative, but if we are in the area, we would stay again.

Small campground. Very clean. Only issue is proximity to the interstate but was perfect for us as a stop over

This is a great COE campground. The Nighthawk section has FHU sites and most are quite level. It is always clean at the campsites and very peaceful. It is very easy to get to, just a mile or so from the Interstate. We travel in a 45’ motor coach with a tow. We camped in site 15.

Beautiful area. We had a problem with the city water standpipe, but they quickly got the problem fixed. I was quite impressed,

Enjoyed our two night stay but when filling with water found the hydrant frost valve would not close making the hydrant unusable. Site #40
