I spent a week here in only a tent overlooking the lake. It was beautiful, only a few minutes to a store, great shower rooms, and the staff were the kindest people to meet. I have zero complaints.

This place is amazing. Very nice, very clean. Nice quiet place to camp out. The restrooms / showers are very clean, and are kept up. Never once did we find it unsuitable. We will continue to return.

The campground was very well maintained and nice and small. The bathroom/shower house was very clean and well maintained. The sites all seemed to have decent space between them and all had a good amount of shade. We were able to walk down to the beach to swim during the day. It was overall a great experience.

There is only one dump station for 50 sites. Not enough when people are checking out and want to dump their sewage. The station gets backed up and people have to wait a long time.
