Loved the property! Great view, great experience! Like how it is more of a secluded campground. The only negative was campers beside me that had barking dogs all of the time.

25 is a great spot but make sure not to be there during the mowing of the yards. I woke up one morning to the mowers mowing directly beside my camper throwing rocks and debrees all over it. Rocks and things pelted the camper until they were gone! They did not mow away from any camper. They were flying around so fast they did not care. My car was SO DIRTY from the mower I had to go wash it and it cost me $15. They even mowed dirt, it was so dusty and dirty it was hazy in the area when they were done. They had no reguard for the very expensive campers they were just in a hurry. I also was very shocked to see how dirty the bathrooms were on this trip.

16 is a nice large lot. The breaker blew a few times and had to be tripped back on luckily someone was there to catch it before food spoiled. Sad that a large cedar tree had been cut and left since opening of the campground right in front of the site with tall weeds growing thru it as an eye sore. Trimming some low hanging limbs would be nice to have a better view of the lake.

Writing this review on behalf of my elderly family member that was on this site. Site 13, they stated they never wanted to be on this site again. Although he did have a great time camping his site was very busy with traffic going to the tent sites below his site. Tent sites house multiple tents with multiple families on each site and that sent multiple people back and forth feet from his camper. These tents sites are increasingly getting louder as there are more and more people being allowed on them now, it was a loud party. On a few occasions they knocked his Dish Outdoor antenna out as they went thru. Tenter Cars try to park as close to the tent sites as possible lining the rd by the camper sites instead of parking in the parking lot, with one even driving by his camper and leaving the car in the grass. Multiple cars parking close to his camper and slamming car doors all day. The campground has really changed this year and not for the better.

Site 49 not level at all. With a 36 foot trailer it was very difficult to set up. The electrical and the water are on the incorrect side of this pull through. Hate to say that with our family coming to this camp for 32 years the area is the worst i've ever seen. No money is being spent here. Shower bather house has gotten no attention and now the panels are coming off the walls in the men's and the tiles are coming off the floor. The paved blacktop on sire 49 is crumbling badly on the edges and loose paving is strewn allover making the footing around the site very dangerous to walk. I had to kick out paths to enter and leave the area around the camper to keep from breaking our ankles. It is a shame that this great area is being ignored.
