Wonderful campground right on the lake. Waking up to the lake makes for a very nice morning.

Great campground, great views of the lake. Only complaint I would have is the location of the rv dump. With a big rig hard to get to.

Loved this campsite! We stayed in #5 for 2 nights and thought that spot was perfect. It is a primitive site and down a few steps but it stays shaded most of the day and overlooks the water. There is plenty of space and is a short walk to the bathhouse. The campground hosts were very friendly, checked on us twice and even gave my husband a ride from the bottom of the boat ramp to the parking lot. I also thought it was very smart and considerate to provide each site with a trash bag. I always carry several because most people forget. So, I thought it was nice touch. We would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful campground with an amazing view!
The only negative comment we have was the signage. There needs to be clear signs showing the campground. Pulling a big fifth wheel and making a wrong turn can be frustrating.
