Our site was very steep to back into but once settled in we had a wonderful view of the water. It was peaceful. The dump station is in an very inconvenient location in the campground and on a slant, not sure how anyone could fully empty their tank. But I'm sure folks have been doing it for years.

Very steep inclines, sign upon entering, road ends in water, ignore, & NO sign pointing out you need to go up hill to right at the Y. Nobody manning gate, & was not aware of a packet host told me days later was there. Do not go on back on left road if you have 40'+ RV - we did & took 45 mins to get turned around & out.

Nice quiet little Campground...But the Dump Station is Horrible! It's up on top of a Hill with the Bath house and you can only go into the Dump Station when you are entering the Campground! So that means when you depart and want to dump...You have to exit the Campground to a turn around spot and come back in to dump! And then when your at the Dump Station your Camper or Coach is going down hill while dumping.. So there is no way your getting your tanks emptied when everything runs to the front!

The view was good, but there was no where to hike or fish unless you have a boat. Bathroom was clean and there was also a laundry unit for anyone who wanted to use it.

Smaller campground (only about 2 dozen spots), but can't beat the location as it's right on the water. They could definitely put a little money into it and spruce up the bath/shower house. They are dated and a bit rundown. I would and still come back.

The grounds were well kept and bathhouse was well kept and clean. My only “complaint” it the lack of trees along the lower campsites. I like to sleep in a hammock and had nowhere to tie up my hammock. Not much can be done to change that in the short term though.

Love the aera, easy boat ramp access and the workers there were extremely nice but campsite had no shade.
