It was the most beautiful, quiet campsite ever! And all to ourselves! We had an amazing time. You get your own private little beach and the lake is gorgeous...absolutely loved it!

The location was quiet and large with plenty of wood to gather for fires. The lake is gorgeous and just steps away from the camp site. The daily cost was amazingly cheap. The bathroom is rustic but at least there was a bathroom. Would definitely go back.

Absolutely loved our site and stay at Gooseneck! Lost our screen tent in a nasty thunderstorm that blew through, but we improvised and enjoyed our stay. Can’t wait to go back!

We had a great experience. Large space, tucked back in woods. Only note would be better signage on way in. Once we found site we enjoyed every min of our stay
