Nature trail to buffalo wallows was cool. Also-the folks at the marina are awesome. Highly recommend checking out their rentals. Great sites. Only issue was many firepits are awkwardly located and grass not trimmed around the pits.

Really rocky shoreline, but camp site and restroom / shower facilities are always great!

This campground absolutely exceeded our expectations! It was clean and quiet and well kept. The sites were great size and had awesome covered picnic tables. My family and I will definitely be back!

This is a very well maintained campground. The bath houses were always clean and had great water pressure. The campsite we stayed at was about 15' off the water and had water/electric hookups. It was nice that they had a shelter with concrete picnic table and a really nice grill at the sites. We were really impressed with our stay and will go again in the future.

Camp host was very helpful, it was late when we arrived. His directions were perfect. The next morning, view was beautiful. We had to leave immediately, were had only been looking for a place to get off the road for the night.
Thank you for being there!.
