It's a beautiful campground and I enjoy camping here. I was camping with 5 others on 2 campsites. When 4 of us arrived in different vehicles we all had to pay $15 to enter even though we were camping for the weekend. Not only did we help pay for the campsite we had to pay to get in. I think that's just wrong, if I was there just for the day for the beach then yes I can see paying the fee to get in. I even said but I'm camping and they said yes you still need to pay the $15, so on that note I will probably never camp here again. $15 is not a lot of money, is just wrong.

This is a large full amenities camp ground. Rest rooms, showers, power, water, playgrounds, live entertainment, camp store, beach, boat launch and dump stations. With some rental cabins. Large beautiful lake with very few houses, known for bass and panfish.
Has both daily and seasonal lots. Usually full on weekends. I suggest making reservations.
Sorry, no atvs driven in our out of the camp ground. More of a boating destination

My 1st time here and the place is huge and beautiful and the water is amazing. All these cute stores and they keep the place looking really nice. I see why they have a waiting list to get a spot. I was here helping a friend get his place ready to start his camping season off. Right on the water and it was absolutely beautiful 馃槏

My family loves this campground for the location and remoteness. It is just too bad that they have TERRIBLE CUSTOMER service. No one answers the phone ever! My family and I have called hundreds of times in one day with no one answering the phone! And they sure as heck do not call you back like the message system says. Good luck with any help out of this place.
