We stayed in site 37 for 5 nights. We had a 42' 5th wheel, LB CC dually truck and an extra car with us. No issues fitting everything on the site. Separate space to the side for the extra car. It was a great view and level site. No issues with water and electric. We would come back again.

I love the campground, although every site leaned towards the lake. Setting up took a little longer, but it eventually leveled out correctly.
The internet access was two Verizon bars. I never used the restroom or showers, but the playground was occupied by happy children.
This is a great location for fishing, with access via boat from the shoreline and the pier provided.
The RV dump was clean with a lovely hose to flush my system, and the campground host did daily checks with happy waves as they passed.
