I'm sorry to give a poor review. We actually left a day early. The stickers are so bad at this park, my dogs could not go 3 steps without having a sticker in their paw. We also tracked them into the 5th wheel and stepped on them with our bare feet. Ouch.
That said - the sites were nice and level, the bathrooms and showers were clean.
We won't be back.

Our site was amazing for being primitive. Great view through the trees of the water. We will definitely be back next season!

The campground attendee was very hospitable and helpful Darlene and Rick great people. The grounds were clean and well maintained. The layout of the campground is horrible. Sites do not face the water. We like to camp to where we can sit under our awning relax and watch the water not other campers. Very bad layout
