Was not what we expected. Sites were really small and very narrow roads inside the campground. Dump station was nearly inaccessible once inside the campground, without having to go all the way back out, dump, go all the way back to the end of the campground and back again due to not having the necessary room to turn around or back into the campsite except from one direction.

DUMP STATION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ACESS.

Overall my stay was very good. I was in campsite 8; which was fully shaded and had a great view of the lake. The accommodations were in good condition. Steve, the campsite manager, did a great job. He answered all questions and made several daily trips throughout the campsite to check on campers and if you had any needs.
The only down side was the dump station. It is located on top of a hill with a very steep incline. The station looked as if it had not been used. Other campers as well as myself did not use it either. The turn down the hill from the dump station is very tight and difficult. I have a 34 ft trailer and I would not have been able to make it safely by myself nor with additional help.
With this being said, I would still recommend this campsite for a great camping trip.
Respectfully, David Ashley.

This is not the place for senior citizens. I had to climb steps to get to my campsite as well as drive my car up a steep hill to use the restroom.
I have since decided to rent a handicapped campsite, despite not actually needing one, to make sure this doesn't happen again. I found this stay disappointing.

In the hot summer there is very little shade on sites 2,3 and 4 but it is still a beautiful campground.

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

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.

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.
