The campground is very clean - it’s in a great area and the restrooms were lovely too. Unfortunately we were only there long enough to sleep and leave but I would definitely stay there again.

Why are the lights all out in the campground especially by the kids playground. And the bathroom it’s really dark there we have been going there for years and the camp ground had street lights now it’s just dark. Unexceptionable

The swimming area (which was not marked but was located near the boat tamp) was very rocky.

..camping pad was SMALL and on a hill. No room for yard games or running
..playground was overrun with rude 9-14 year olds making it hard for little ones to play
..host was not friendly upon check-in and gave little direction to guests
..Playground was SMALL for the number of campers
..no path access to beach
...no bike trails at the campround or leading up to the campground
Overall the campground is nice but compared to other campgrounds in the area, the amenities were limited and the host was a little standoffish.

Had a great experience here. The campground was clean, quiet, well cared for. We had a nice shady spot (site 1) and could see the lake easily. Would come back again.
