The campground features lovely wooded sites, clean restrooms, and well-maintained hiking trails, making it ideal for relaxation and nature activities.

Wow a gem of a find for well maintained campsites and restroom/shower facilities. Camp hosts were very helpful.
The lake trail is well defined and marked.

This site was small, but still fit our 6 person tent on the gravel. There is a perfect spot to hang a hammock. The beach to the lake had newer sand and was very pleasant. I'm excited to return to do the trail that loops the lake, and to kayak on the lake.
There was no campers close to us so it was very peaceful.
