Campground is a gem! It is small in terms of total available spaces. Making for a cozy adult campground that is on the lake. Our time was relaxing. The camp hosts were communicative where needed.

The roads were narrow with a couple of sharp turns. Because the dump station was on the way into the campground, the turn to go back to the dump from the exit road was very sharp. Our site (15) said it was a pull-through with a max RV length of 45 and a driveway length of 90. We (34' 5th wheel) discovered the pull-through was very tight for us. The patio area is very large, so we backed into that area instead. I'd stick to site 8 if you want a pull-through.

The hosts were very nice and drove by checking on everyone when they closed the office for the day. Almost all sites are waterfront. It seems to be a very relaxing, quiet campground.

Site was clean and electric and water worked well. Long walk to the showers as our water heater was not working.
