Wonderful campground. Had great cell service there with T-Mobile. Great fishing 6 min away at spillway. Camp host very nice. Learned the beach will be back around the end of May!

Loved this campground.. all site have a view of the lake. Most of them are right on the lake. The shower house was clean, the showers were a little small, hard not to touch a wall while washing.

Good cell service, nice site, bathroom/shower area could use a little updating and cleaning ( lots of bugs, cob webs). Water pressure was decent, took a little warm up time, and half way through my shower water went cold , then warmed up again. Shower head placement is in the corner and wasn’t adjustable, so you had to hug the wall to get water flow on your head and body, it was doable just awkward. We camped during the week, it was quiet and peaceful. Definitely want to return. Oh one last thing… only one dump station (one sided) can’t even imagine checkout/dumping on the weekends 😳

We loved this campground. We stayed at f120, right next to the beach, and the bath house is right across the street.
Be warned on checkout days you are down hill from the rv dump station 🥴
Also the bath house could have used some cleaning.
Other than that we will be regular campers here!
