Such a well laid out campground. Enjoyed an amazingly relaxing weekend with the family and dog. Lake within steps of our sites. We will definitely be back!

Shower stalls needed a little maintenance, some missing a doors.
Dry clothes got wet because shower head would not adjust and oversprayed into bench area.

Great level spot that is sunny in the mornings and is shaded in the afternoon. Large grassy yard area right off campsite which is great for kids to play and setup yard games.

The bathrooms used to have automatic lights for night time use. There are no working lights in the bathrooms near Q loop. Great job adding shower/toilet combos in B loop. Consider a 4 stall rather than 2.

Shoreline needs maintenance from Cottonwood overgrowth which now are obstructing lake view in many areas. View of the lake is what keeps campers coming to Island View. Thanks for all you do.

Our camp site was nice, kept up, clean and the grass was mowed and looked great. Our stay during the week, so it was quite and not many people. Only complaints were that the showers were a little worn, but functional and the restrooms near our site did not have lights for night, anyway to dry your hands after washing and no soap. Minor things and we would still stay there again.
