Great area to visit, awesome beach, needs a little work to make it as big as it was when the place was built. Had multiple sightings of bald eagles over the three day weekend, what a treat!

Nice place not crowded. Very secluded. Good hiking trails . Clean lake even with all the rain it was still clear. Great for kayak. Nice clean beach. Minutes from other hiking trails. Only down fall is if you needs something from a store you will be driving a little ways.

Spots are great - and service and facilities are very nice and clean! We came from MA and had no issues with anything or anyone we dealt with while staying! The lake is beautiful, swim area is clean as well as the beach area.

Camp was clean, and had excellent bathroom and shower facilities. There was a lot of poison ivy, and algae in the lake though.
