It was a fun and relaxing time. We had a site on the lake and enjoyed visiting with the other campers. We had kayaks so we were able to enjoy the lake, even with reduced lake level. We are booked for another 2 weeks in June and July. Very helpful camp host.

The campground is wonderful. Have always enjoyed it. The water level is the lowest I have ever seen. That made getting to waters edge over rocks difficult. Our email did not include the code to the bathroom/showers. In prior years it was in a blue shaded box in the email and it was not in there this time. It took until the person was at the guard house to get the code. Showed the email that didn’t include the code so it could be addressed.

We we surprised at how LOW the lake is. It’s still beautiful, but what a shock! The campground was great.

We had a very nice weekend. We were right on the river and had a beautiful view. The playground area was beside us so we could watch the kids play from our camper. We will definitely be back.
