Nice campsites. Well maintained. Clients are respectful and quiet. It is difficult to get multiple days reserved.

During our weekend our neighbor's dog got loose twice that we were aware of because they didn't always keep it tethered or on a leash which causes our dog a lot of stress. What needs to be done to get people to learn these rules for dogs? It has become an increasing problem to the point where our dog was attacked last camping season by a dog people thought could handle being off leash but obviously could not. We camp to be relaxed and enjoy ourselves, but it has gotten to the point where I am constantly watching for dogs off leash now that may come towards our dog. The leash rule needs to be strictly enforced for everyone's safety, and this needs to be improved.

Incredible family site adjacent to the lake, and with plenty Green space. Wish the grass had been mowed recently but it still was passable.
