Beautiful, small but not too crowded before school lets out for summer. Watch for ticks, though.

Most sites are level and gravel, all have water/lake views. If you are from out of state and are over 65 you do NOT need a fishing license! Catfish are abundant. No camp store or laundry but the grounds are well maintained. The bath houses could stand to be updated. 2 boat ramps, large picnic area would be perfect for a family gathering and a roped off swimming area. Stores, restaurants and shopping both to the east and west 30 minutes. Kentucky dam village has a nice Buffett on Friday nights.
