I really liked this site. We were right on the lake and fish or swim. The campsites were spread apart so you weren’t on top of each other. This is my favorite spot for wax.

Campground was nice. The electricity kept surging. We left 2 days early fearing our camper would be damaged.

Campsites are small and crowded with travel trailer

Camp ground was nice. Plenty of play grounds for the kids. Good shade. Real close to the water.
The bath house was a wreck. Smelled terrible. The site pictures are a little deceiving. I would ride out and pick sites that fit your camper if that is an option. Our site was like 50 ft on the website and only about 35 ft of useable space. Overall had fun though!
