There are so may good sites at this campground its hard to pick a favorite because they all have great views of the lake to watch the barge traffic and all the boats also fishing is excellent. There are 2 boat ramps and a large day use area that would be good for picnins and reunions. There is no camp store or laundry but the bath hous is large and clean. Easy to navigate as there is only one road. We camp here several times a year. We just wish the season was longer to enjoy the colors of fall.

Great little campground with lots of space between sites. Know your rig and the type of site you can fit into. Some of the pull through sites are not travel trailer friendly. Great camp hosts that were very friendly and knowledgeable.

The campground itself was very clean, quiet, and very relaxing. We walked the circle many times on our stay. The host Susanne and Arnold were very accommodating, knowledgeable, and very kind and helpful with anything we needed. We had water and electric and bought wood from the host. We have booked again for Sept. Everyone was very friendly throughout the campground.
Tent camper. Site 16 May 12-14, 2023.

This park is amazing. Beautiful views. Easy pull through sites. Areas to enjoy a campfire and picnicking! Unfortunately, it was raining the entire time we visited, but we will be back to enjoy it during a nicer weather time! We highly recommend visiting!
