Nice lake setting. Camp site was not clean and didn’t look like it had been in some time. Many rusted bottle caps in the gravel, a broken glass bottle by the picnic table legs, plastic wrappers and typical trash in the grassy areas. Fire ring not cleaned. Park attendant little help - did not seem to know or care about any sights to see in the area, despite having some brochures at the check-in building. As a camp host at state parks in another state, this was pretty disappointing.
Also, I’m surprised that as a COE facility, so little effort seems to have gone into designing and grading many of the sites. Our class A RV doesn’t level as easily as as a TT or 5th wheel and we nearly had to park sideways in the site to get level (fortunately it was a good-sized site).
Despite this, we did enjoy the lake and the area.

Great spot! Plenty of shade, right across from the shower house, and we had beautiful weather!

Our small family reunion was a good experience. Every one had a good time with no mishaps. We could not have had
a better experience. The park, as always was well kept and well managed. We will be back at least once next year.
Thanks.

Nice little spot we stayed in. Only 7 spots in this loop, so it was very quite and relaxing. Beautiful view of the lake and had a couple walking paths. There was a small cove with a great little beach that we went swimming at. Very nice!

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
