A very quiet campground if it is not summer. Had no problems except the restroom could use a little work but, heck, it is a campground.

Great campground. Super quiet and beautiful setting. Park seemed like it could use a little attention but everything worked and i enjoyed my stay.

Nice little park. We only stayed one night so there was no opportunity to walk the trails (plus it was too hot and humid) or use the lake facilities. I will say the dump station needs a little attention. It's road is in terrible condition. After a trip involving 15 different stops, this was the quietest by far. No traffic noise, no horns going off and no barking dogs.

This was an overnight stop. We were in our 28 ft travel trailer. It was fine. However, we recently purchased a 34 ft Class A. Our perspective is this campground would be a little tight (narrow roads, tight-ish turns, and low small branches). In our records we’ve classified it as “do-able” so we would use it even with the bigger rig.

The part that annoyed us was the reservation fee that we had to pay when we used Rec.gov. Then that it turned out that electricity was separated from the site price and not subjected to the 50% senior discount.

I have been going to this park since I was a young child. It’s like home to me. This visit I did notice that there is some needed attention to the roadways (breaking edges, extra potholes, etc). The vegetation and grass needs to be mowed more often than not. I stayed a solid week and never did I see the camp host pass by. Maybe he was coming by before I was up or out and about. I was in a very sunny hot spot which I’m ok with but I had wanted to change to a shadier spot. I tried calling the reservations line to change but ironically there were no answers. So, I’ll have to plan ahead farther in advance to grab a shadier spot. All in all though I will go back and hope to grind it in a bit more tidy grounds and road (loop of park)! Let’s go camping

Nice camping location, very quiet and peaceful. Appears to be mainly geared for peace, quiet, and fishing. All good.
We only had an overnight stay between locations so it was nice. Hookups were fully functional without issues. Passed on the dump station since it was a short stay. Will be willing to try again as an overnight if needed.

Roads that lead into the park (whether State, County or City roads) are not trimmed back and up when in proximity to the park. Most roads within park are not maintained as well. Proper maintenance means landscaping is trimmed at least 15 ft high off the roads, and back to the edges of the road surface. And you can’t put rules in place that state you are not responsible for damages to my property when you are not maintaining the park features and landscaping that cause the damages in the first place.
