Sandy Beach Campground is praised for its beautiful setting, clean facilities, and friendly staff, making it a pleasant place to stay. Many visitors appreciate the spacious, well-maintained campsites and the nice views of the lake. However, some concerns were raised about noise from nearby campers and issues with water access, impacting the overall experience.

Enjoy the area and return every year.
Sites need attention. Especially grading and gravel to manage rain runoff.
Men’s shower had a very moldy curtain missing most of the hangers.

Nice, small, quite campground. It's not a nice beach. And I wouldn't advise putting anything bigger than a fishing boat in on the ramp. A lot of rocks and debris.

The campground seems like it's barely being maintained. Sure it's mowed and some dead trees were finally cut down but the electrical posts look old and dated. The campsites, especially the fire pits are not cleaned out between campers. The fish cleaning stations were all shut down. No information was posted on the campsite posts. The additional water spigots added a while back were certainly handy.

Sandy Beach campground was pleasant to stay at as usual. Our site had a steep drive and fairly short level area which was a little bit of a surprise. The grass was badly in need of mowing and the edge of our campsite was covered with ant hills. The shower house was clean and the campground was quiet. The camp host, who has been there for a long time was pleasant and efficient.

Clean park updated bathrooms kept clean great hot water showers. Not good for tv reception.

Our stay in general was good except for the company that were in there cutting wood. They drove way too fast through the campground on more than one occasion and were pleasant enough to flip us off on their way out after we called them out on it.
