B8, very quiet and secluded spot, close to the bathrooms/showers and also close to a nice hiking trail. The beach was a great time, like always, not too busy but a lot of fun.

The fact that a loud generator was running next to us for 3 days straight was appalling. We asked staff to at least have them turn it off at night. It was 65-70 degrees the entire weekend. We were in an electric site and there were many other electric sites available but this other person had a fifth wheel in a non-electric site running an extremely loud generator. This made the weekend miserable. It was as loud as a tractor. Again we asked several times and different staff and no one made this stop. We were several hours from and essentially stuck there through this. Last time we are going to this campground.

We've camped here every year for four years now and it's a great trip every year. The past two years though we've noticed that the wood that they're selling is super wet and not seasoned at all. It's almost impossible to keep the wood lit.

Wonderful campsite. J loop was secluded and quiet. Short walk to the water. We did drive to the beach area for swimming one of the days. We were really impressed by the staff and how much time they took cleaning out the campsites before the next guests arrived. Would absolutely stay here again.

This visit was much easier and much less expensive for local family to be able to visit inside the camp ground. Thank you for the great experience.

Site J10 was spacious and private, as it was angled toward trees. Drove through all loops and didn't see a bad site. All are large with lots of trees. Only suggesting 2 lanes when returning to get in, so not waiting on check-ins. Sites were clean, gravel raked. Bathrooms were messy but cleaned quickly. I think it was just our timing. Lake is gorgeous. Recommend renting pontoon.
