We did not have a reservation, and the people at the check in lodge told us that they could not help us and that we had to do it online. After getting all signed in we saw on the shower house that they could have helped us. Very upsetting, when we didn't have great reception or an account already set up.

It was my first time camping there. It is a hidden Gem. The grounds the sites and facilities were all very clean. The hosts are very friendly and helpful.

Great place to camp if you want to do water activities - boating, rafting, skidoo. Most of the spots were a bit too close for my liking. And if you have a bigger RV some are difficult to get into. Perfect for a smaller camper though. Would be nice if a fee hiking trails could be put in. Or other activities. Possibly a larger playground.

Very clean; nice water views from many campsites. Beware the Google bike route to Solon - there are several miles of gravel roads on the short route.

Far better than any private campground I’ve stayed in. I do wish the gate keepers were allowed to register campers who arrive with no reservation.
