I really enjoyed this campground. Sites were spaced nicely and I didn't feel that there was someone right on top of me. We had site 22 right by the lake & loved the view. It could have been more shaded but very nice nevertheless. I can't speak as to how the bath houses were as we did not use them. I tend to prefer the smaller campgrounds as there is less traffic & noise. We enjoyed it so much that we will definitely utilize this campground again & again!

Beautiful wooded sites. Lots of space between campers. The camp host, Jamie, was very friendly and helpful when I had a problem trying to extend our stay. This is a gem of a park and would definitely return again.

Site 49 is where we stayed. The roadway leading into the site is not good at all. In fact the roadway broke away under my truck tires while I was struggling to get the camper leveled. When I was able to finally get the camper leveled it left our steps exceptionally high as well as over the edge of the road which made for a dangerous entry and exit. I had no other choice to park the camper other than where it was. This site is in desperate need of repairs. The tables provided were nice and fire ring was appropriate as well. The electric and water hook up are on the wrong side of the site which called for me to have to go buy another electric cord to be able to hook my camper up and a second waterline hose as well. These lines were hazardous to our safety as trip hazards. This site should be taken out of service until it is repaired correctly.
The men's bathouse had a constant sewer issue. There was feces and toilet paper in the floor most of the day and all night due to sewer issues. The bathroom was cleaned finally Sunday morning but only one toilet available.
Playground was great for the kids and very close to us.
Campground was clean and quiet.
There was a pretty bad wind storm that blew up while we were there. Due to broken limbs being left in the trees and I mean some very large limbs. The wind blew them down on our camper. One impaled the roof, one impaled the awning as I was trying to get it rolled in. One limb struck me in the head while I was trying to get things put under the camper, and one struck my truck. The camper roof and awning are having to be replaced by our insurance company due to the amount of damage the limbs caused. Luckily the one that struck the truck hit my bed cover and didn't damage it, and the one that hit me in the head did not injure me other than a good knot on my head.
I am giving a good rating only due to the site issues and bathroom issues. Please spend some money at this campground and make necessary repairs.

Site 25 is a great site. Large site with good gravel. Easy back in. A good distance from other sites. Good level site. Has water view but could use a few branches cleaned up on some trees that are right in eyes view on the water line.
