Was told after getting there even though we had reservations that if the government had not come to a agreement Saturday morning we would have to be out of the park by 4 pm. If that wasn't bad enough they closed the showers and toilets before 9am. When i asked the ranger why the bathrooms were being closed so early he told me because of the end of the season. I have been coming there the last weekend of September for 47 years and this has never happened before. If this was true why was i able to reserve Saturday night ?

This campsite was very good. It was big and spacious and very quiet. There was also lots of nature around and walking access to the water.

Only spent a short night, but it's a very pretty park, nice big sites, lots of views of the lake. Only drawback was the cigarette butts everywhere.

We camped in mid-September when park was less than 25% full. HUGE sites, most were double-wide so you could fit boat or extra vehicle easily. Electric only at site, so you need to stop at dump station to fill with water. (A few spigots located throughout park too.) Campground is a couple of miles from highway entrance but such a beautiful drive. Acres of open space throughout.
