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.

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.

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.

Site had unpacked gravel and slanted driveway. Could not get level and had to park trailer at an angle in the site to get level. Otherwise it was a good stay...other sites would have worked better for me.

Campsite is on a hill, including the fire pit, which had uneaven ground all around it making it very difficult to sit around comfortably with more than a few people. The picnic table was also on said hill, making it very difficult at times to keep things on it. Bathrooms are a pretty good walk a ways across a parking lot. Probably don't plan to camp here again.
