We were very pleased with the way the grounds and sites were clean and pretty. The view is also wonderful from our site. This was a well kept quiet campground. There were many places to fish and based one some of the fisherpeople’s experiences, the catch was many. We were so impressed that we (while there) reserved another weekend later in the summer. We will definitely make this one of our top 5 places.

we had to bring our camper home,and dump the sewer the first trip we made this year.On the 2nd trip we parked on another site without it being dumped.The guys were there one day this week,and no one was working.I understand that the dump station was messed up last year.we love the host,and hostess at the campground.I give a low rating this time for the dump station not being fixed I know for the past three weeks.

Site 10 is huge and clean with amazing lake view. Camp host was super friendly and accommodating. Love her southern charm and very knowledgeable of campgrounds and surrounding towns. Couple drawbacks: swimming area water was extremely murky due to algae overgrowth. Also plenty of dead carps washed up to shoreline. Bathrooms while clean were extremely outdated with badly needed repair/renovation.

Excellent Clean and Level Site. Very big and wide gives you ample room for everything. The hosts are great! Keeping a great eye on the campground. Everytime Ive visited this campground it has always been very quiet.

#4 we have a good time here on #4. You couldn't ask for any better hosts. They both are super nice and very helpful. They keep a great eye on the campground. The site itself. Is very sunny. There is zero shade. Full sun hits about 11 am and your bright until sundown. Our camper was 35 ft with 3 slides. We were almost to big for the site making the open area of the site small. Couldn't have a fire because our slide was to close to the pit. You are right on the water and fishing in front of your camper is great. We caught huge catfish, one was 9 lbs
