Nice campground. The lake was pretty high while we were there. Check your reservation! Lots of fisherman and boats, with plenty of additional parking for boat trailers.
Loop B is good for smaller rigs. We fit our 44' toy hauler in site B29 only by backing in from the parking lot. I didn't think we could make the turn that was required in the B loop. The loop for the dump station is also very tight, we used our blueboy to dump rather than try it.

Understand it is more of a volunteer workforce, but grass really needed to be mowed. I know the flooding has not helped much, but we were in A loop and it really needed attention.

The scenery was beautiful. Easy in, easy out, and easy to find. Host were nice, gave our tags, and left us alone.

Love the campsite...but wish that the quiet time would be enforced. There was a group of people in the campsite behind us BLARING music loudly, while talking and yelling until 1:00 a.m. Ruined my relaxing camping experience.

Great people to work with. Great views of the lake. Loved our campsite except it could have been more level. A lot of space between campsites for privacy Boat ramp is steep for those who pull their pontoon behind their C Class RV.

Well kept campground with a beautiful view. We stayed near the boat ramp to easily insert our kayaks. I will mention that my parents are old school, and do not own cell phones. They did not have a reservation because they thought they could pay at the booth. They no longer do this. Luckily, I have a cell and reserved our spot. Will definitely return.
