I've visited here for years. You won't find a better campground. Sites are spacious. The lakes are clean. The camp hosts are friendly and helpful. If you want a quiet place to enjoy nature, this is it.

Beautiful wooded, spacious, widely separated campsites. Celina lake is very attractive with wooded banks, along with some rock ledges. Water is very clear- nice for kayaking. Bathhouse is adequate and clean, but aging fixtures. No dump station or RV water fill in campsites- located 3 miles away, so plan accordingly.

This is a nicely wooded campground with excellent facilities and a nice hiking trail. We saw great birds and had a peaceful evening. Our site was pretty level, but I noticed many that were very unlevel.
