Site 4A is a large site with a nice level area for a tent. There's a wooded path down to the lake and a small "private" beach. The privy was nearby as was the water spigot. The privy was clean.
Once during our stay the ladies' restroom accidentally got locked. Since the campground host was not on site, it was a while before this privy could be used, but there are others on the campground. Another time the water spigot didn't function. Both problems were quickly solved by the campground host when he returned.
There were occasional noise problems from other campers as well as a generator being used for a little while after quiet hours. These were only minor annoyances.
Bruno's Run, a 9.2-mile biking/hiking loop trail, can be accessed from the campground. It goes past other nearby lakes and is quite beautiful. Pete's Lake also provides a public beach and there are several lakeside benches accessible from the campground.

Some of the sites need tree removal because they are growing so big they interfere with trying to back in. Additionally it would be nice to have electrical sites especially for those requiring CPAP machines. The quiet nights aren’t so quiet with all the generators running every night.
