I took two of my grandkids, aged 9. They had a great time. I picked a great spot with easy and close assess to the restrooms and play ground. I was able to keep my eye on them the whole time without hovering. We will be back and hopefully my spot will be available.

This campsite is serviceable. You have to choose whether you want to be near the restrooms, boat ramp, or swimming; but all are within walking distance. The campsite near the water needs more shade trees. It was nice and quiet. The lake was really nice for stand-up paddleboarding along the wake-free zone and boaters were respectful for the most part. The swimming area is nice but the beach is rocky and muddy.

One of our FAVORITE campgrounds. We love sites 36(backs up to lake) and 37(across the road with good view of lake).
Angie, campground hostess is the nicest lady I ever met. She takes great pride in making sure the campground is well maintained and does several daily drive thru’s.
