Lonnie and Sharron are great folks. Both of them make you feel very welcome. They both are always working and available when you need something like fire wood, ice, etc formation, etc. Restrooms and showers are always clean. I love camping there!

Campground was quiet, the bathrooms and showers were clean. Firewood and ice was fairly priced.

I do wish there was some kind of boat rental for the lakes, or easier bank fishing access.

We love camping here. The sites are unique as they are wooded and private. We wish all campgrounds were like these. Very clean restrooms/showers. We return yearly.
