Nice and quiet! We used the shower house which was clean except for all the mosquitoes. Plenty of hot water. Site 6 was a bit difficult to get in to for a newbie due to the narrow drive and the 2' trench across the road Beautiful view of the lake

A great COE campground. A little smaller than some of the COE campgrounds we have stayed at before but very nice and well maintained. Many of the sites are adjacent to the river/lake.

Awesome water site and everyone was so friendly! Only negative we had is there were not a lot stuff for our small kids to do and the ditch backing in the site was kinda tight. (I am kinda new at backing in so it could be me) all in all we had a great time! And will be back to do another weekend.
