Make sure to get out of your tent in the middle of the night when the water is glass and the sky is clear. The reflected night sky is breathtaking with the tree line separation.

The location on map for campsite 93 is actually for campsite 92. Campsite 93 was not well maintained, had a lot of tree stumps and several more trees marked to be cut down. Also, had a lot of flies. I stopped to check out other sites, and they were much better maintained and no flies.

Love this site but got rained out so we packed up Saturday afternoon and went home but love this spot due to being close to home but yet not right by town, wish there was outhouses closer to the camp sites

Great site. Very secluded. Big enough for several tents. One of my new favorites.

This is not a review of the campsite but of all the ticks we got there. Was only there about 30 minutes getting my camp set up and my dog was just walking around. When he came back near me, I saw over 20 ticks on him crawling around. It looked like he rolled in sprinkles, but instead ticks. This was mid April. The campsite was gorgeous, but couldn’t stay the night.

At our 2nd day reserved camp site, we found a large group already occupying the site.
It took hours for them to leave, after numerous calls to park office.
