Worst experience with the camp host. I've called and filed a complaint already. I will never go there again as long as they are there.
Also the websites description of site 4 was was in accurate! There was no shade, It was not allowed to be used as a pull through as stated, can not accommodate 2 cars nor accommodate 44 foot trailer.

What a gem! This was an easy back-in site that shared a drive loop with the next site over. Clean and level gravel pad, picnic table, fish prep station, lantern hook, and fire pit were all in great shape. There’s a few yards of grass separated by retaining rocks from the gravelled camp area and a gentle slope down to the water. The two trees visible on the park’s images have since been cut back but there is still shrubbery in that spot. Have bookmarked this park and this specific site to visit again!
