Clean, quiet and perfect for families and pets! Camped at Site 12, a walk-in site. The walk was less than 100 ft from parking. Site was amazing! Gravel pad, tents only but the thin layer of gravel was small and compact. We were able to drive our tent stakes easily and they held securely. The site is next to the beach for swimming and lake for fishing. Beach and swimming area are large and never seemed crowded, even on a hot sunny weekend. All of the other campers were friendly and respected the campground rules. The hosts were gracious, personable and helped make our stay memorable! There’s a small grassy point that extends out into the lake, which was perfect for fishing and watching the stars after sundown. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could!!! Rented a pontoon boat from Prizer Point Marina which was right across the bay from the campground. Great experience as well! We were able to beach the boat at the campground to grab some extra gear from our campsite and get back out on the water. This is a gem! Perfect location and accommodations!

Our site @32 was okay - nothing great. It had a large muddy area under the camper which had to be dealt with. The site basically is behind another campsite so you are forced to view what is happening there and hearing what is being said. Not very comfortable sometimes. We tried to move, but no spots available. Our camper blocked the breeze from the lake, so the site was very warm. The ladies restrooms - the shower doors all need work - in that none of the metal slides go properly into the slot - therefore the door is not locked while you are taking a shower - not a good secure feeling.

Its close to my home . Usually quiet. Feel like some rules need to be updated. use to get a map, the rules and garbage bag when we came . don't get that anymore. Some people need to see the rules . we try to follow them and you have someone constantly breaking them . that is my campground and I'm trying to protect it

Second trip to site 4. Brought 4 grandkids who slept in two tents and plenty of room for our TV and an additional car. Great site for watching the kids at the lake swim area. Mostly shady and a nice breeze off the water. This is a gem for families!

We stayed at site 4 with our 18 foot teardrop and found this to be a quiet and lovely campground. Site was level but a downslope to enter, very large with large picnic and a utility table. View of swim area and 50 yds to lake. We had electric and water. Bath facilities were relatively new and very clean. We are coming back with or grandkids
