Not felt sized and shaded site. Beautiful setting.
Get water on the way in because water spigots are spread out.

We enjoy camping at Island View because of the large campsites, mature trees, and lake views. It is so relaxing to build a fire in the provided pit and enjoy nature. This is one of our favorite places.
The bath and shower facilities could be kept cleaner and hand soap or sanitizer provided as was done in years past. The water is barely warm if you shower in the morning at the shower houses. There were very few volunteers or workers over Memorial Day weekend which may have contributed to the lack of services.

The bathrooms were awful. No toilet paper for a day and a half. No hand soap or hand dryers. No bench to set things on while showering.

Fabulous stay. Staff kept us up to date on the closed for repair bathroom nearest us. Not too many in the campground during the week. We enjoy staying close to the boat ramp.
