There are 15 stairs leading up to this campsite. Once you get up there, it’s worth it. You overlook some lower campsites which will most likely be trailers but you have a fantastic view of the lake. This campsite has good shade. It has a nice railing around it that you can use to put things on (for example: on the back rail, I did my dishes and used as a ledge for totes). There’s water and electricity. You have your own little world up there…you just have to climb to get to it. Its also good to know that it’s a good little (not terribly long) hike to the restroom which also has a bunch of stairs to climb. Sadly, I didn’t wake up thin on the last day. :/

The campground is beautiful, nice sized sites and terrific for small campers. We had a 43' fifth wheel and it was almost impossible to get into our camping spot or maneuver around the campground! Our site stated it was for an RV up to 73', which is very misleading. ATT cell service was minimal.

Good night have a better trip. The camp host was accommodating and the area was clean and quiet. The showers and bathrooms were super clean and maintained. Thank you

I wouldn't recommend bringing anything longer than 25-30 ft to this campground. Site 15 has a pretty serious grade to it. While backing in, we almost bottomed out our rear stabilizer on a 25' BH travel trailer. Had to remove weight distribution trunions to drop the front end an inch or two to clear. You can tell quite a few people have gouged the drive. The dump station is situated at the top of a pretty large hill that you have to go all the way to the boat ramp and then turn around and go all the way back to access. Not much clearance on drivers side to clear the ditch that runs along side the drive.
I'm not sure we'll go back but someone with a smaller camper would have a much better experience. In addition to poor directional signage, they have no firewood at the campground. I was told to go to Kroger.

Very clean and beautiful view. Restrooms and bathing areas very clean and up kept. The staff very friendly and respectful! Will be camping here again.

Need to have gates closed (not locked) at a certain time to help with security. Non-campers driving through at night.
