I’ve camped here several times and have always enjoyed it. Quiet, clean, and perfect for the hiking trail along the lake. I’ll return for sure.

Clean, scenic campground. Nice and roomy between spaces. Easy in and out. No showers or flushing toilets, but the pit toilet was clean.

Nice clean campground. We were literally the only ones there. Our site was nice, in a good location. My only complaint was the trees overhead had not been adequately cleared so I could not back my trailer all the way into the site without hitting branches that could cause damage. The hookups were at the back of the site, had to use long extension cords and hoses to reach the power and water connections.

Wonderful, relaxing experience! Fishing is good and the hiking trails are awesome. Don’t expect to have cell service but for us, unplugging is part of the fun. We’ll definitely be back!!
