Was first time there. Was nice clean campground with a very nice trail for a walk. Marina looks very nice (didn't bring my boat but will next time) and like the cabins and will be checking on them for a possible future trip.

The overall campground was nice. We stayed in sites 8 & 10 and they were very large and mostly level. Had plenty of space for our huge 12 person tent. The beach was nice and had enough parking for the boaters and beach goers. The only thing we can complain about is the bathrooms. The one in our loop was disgusting. They clearly don’t clean the floors or even wipe down anything. Out of the 4 adults, only 1 of us took a shower and that was only out of necessity not want. They were full of bugs, I know you can’t keep them out, but they could do a better job at trying to clean up the dead ones or prevent them from wanting to be in there. Such as having a motion sensor light instead of keeping them on all the time inside.

The park was very clean but the restroom near our site was closed. This did cause some issues.

This is a very nice place to camp. It is kept clean and it is quiet. We go there 5-6 times a year. The attendant’s are very knowledgeable and do their jobs extremely well.
