Nice sites on lake. Gravel sites that were not really level. Well spaced sites. Water and electric on site. Our electric failed on our last night there and the camp host was nice enough to lend is a 30 amp dongle for the night. Occurred on weekend and said he shouldn’t get anyone to check electric until Monday. Would have been a bigger problem if had occurred earlier in our stay. Boat ramp in campground very steep and narrow. Wound up searching area and found better farther out. The Cabin in town good source of fishing supplies and friendly. Campground roads are narrow and made backing boat trailer into site a challenge. Need to remove some of the trees right next tot the road and campsite entry points. Good Verizon signal. Not cicadas but tics were prevalent.

The sites are close to the water on 19 of the 24 sites!! The bath house could use some updating. The folks who run the camp ground are wonderful!!

We only stayed for a night. A quick stop for a long trip. The location was great and scenery was beautiful. We had enough time to put our fishing poles in the water and catch and release a couple of nice fish.
We'll come back again!
