We absolutely love this campground! Everyone is so friendly & always ready to lend a hand if needed. It is always kept clean. I don't think there is a bad spot in A, B or C sites. The people who work there and volunteer were so great. Only down side I can think of maybe for some, TV service hit and miss on lakeside sites and under heavy trees with antenna, IF that is crucial for you! Not us, we go to enjoy the lake and the area! We are already reserving for this next summer. Can't wait to go back. Deb & Nick

Great Place, quiet and laid back, where you can hike, fish, kayak, walk and have a camp fire. Have to try the Buzzard Pizza, seven miles north of the outlet.

Other than it being VERY windy nearly all 5 days we were there, it was a very pleasant break in our COVID "stay at home" monotony!!

Checking in at the gate was great. Kelli was very helpful with upgrading me to a campsite on the water. Everything was great as usual. Thanks!
