Small campground, not noisy, beautifully kept, and very close to dam for fishing and swimming.

Everything was great. The bugs were just really bad and we weren't prepared so we left a little early. Go prepared in the summer for bugs.

My family and I have been visiting this park for 30+ years for the 4th of July. We have lost a few but we have also gained a bunch. We LOVE camping here. It is family oriented and very friendly.

When I arrived, the groundskeepers were busy mowing the grass and weeds which weren’t really necessary but with the holiday weekend coming up it was an extra touch. Had no problem with the check in as I just set up my camp and left. When I returned, the campground host had already done my check in and had my passes at my campsite. I stayed for almost two weeks with no issues except for the restroom and bathhouse lights were off at night instead of the day. The issue was resolved before my stay was over though. Been going here for over thirty years and hope to keep it up for several years to come.

Campsite attendants are very friendly and welcoming very helpful. It’s a place of relaxation, calm and peaceful. Close to lake for our boat for fishing. Very family oriented.
