Really like camping here, just wish all sites had water hookup. We really like many of the sites with no water.

Nice clean RV park with nice distance between sites. Staff & campers were very friendly. Grounds well kept & laid out nicely. Be aware when booking sites that sites 44 thru 84 have shared water hookups & they are located at the front of the sites next to the road.

I truly want to give 5 stars but due to the extremely narrow, unlevel and split level of the space I just cant.
The sites are nicely set up and spacious. In all fairness though, I booked the site based upon our camping in a truck camper but we ended up taking our 28 foot tow behind, due to predicted weather. The parking portion of the site was sort of rounded over and like a hump and relatively narrow, backing in was a challenge. The remainder of the space was 3 block steps lower and we couldn't line the door up with the steps due to the need to allow for our truck to also park, barely!
I again reiterate I booked the space for our camper, we have no water hookups needed for that. Good think as our water spigot was almost centered in the lower portion of the site! We did finally discover we could hook up two hoses to span the 75 feet distance! Camp host said some are even further, so check carefully if you want/need water hook ups! I believe ours said electric, which I wanted but didn't specify water access which I didnt really care initially.
Park is very nice, clean, relatively quiet and peaceful, camp hosts were helpful when needed. Close to the marina but no lake access from the campground.
Se sould gladly go back but will investigate our site options much more closely!

We enjoyed our camping trip immensely. The campground was beautiful. We spent two nights. Normally when we camp we hike and kayak and stay active. We chose this spot to relax and it was perfect. We hung out at the campground and played games and relaxed. Lots of shade at site 62. Large sites. We have sprint cellphones and had great service to stream football! Lol it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a peaceful friendly campground.
