Very nice and clean little park close to the lake. Most sites are not shaded so plan accordingly. There is a nice walking trail through the old campground where you can often see lots of birds and deer.

We had a nice campsite, but it seems that most of them are set up so the "fun side" of the camper faces away from the lake. There's not much shade, so it can get hot. Sites were level and clean. We had a great time!

Stayed two weeks, two different sites 29 and 36. Park is quiet, dark and very peaceful. Sites are semi-level and some precision is required in backing into some sites. 15 minutes from downtown Manhatten and they have everything you could ever need. Wildlife doesnt disappoint. American Eagles, Red Tailed Hawks and Great Blue Herons to name a few. You pull right into site...no attendants at guard shack.

Nice level site. Love the 50 Amp service. Clean. We were in Site 26. We will be back in October at Site 28. It's a 5 hour drive but it is one of our favorite Lakes.
