A bag of trash and other debrie was left from someone prier to us arriving. We disposed of it cleaned up the site. Other than that we really enjoyed our two day stay.

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

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!

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.

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!

I visited in October of this year. The campsite is in excellent condition, big fire ring but there is no grate on it just FYI. The Coordinates 46°03'59.6"N 86°32'41.9"W give the exact location, but the maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fcF3MDae1JTZUPea8 also shows you exactly where you need to turn to get to the campsite. The campsite road is marked with a post with the number 4 on it. The trail is bumpy but I made it work with a FWD Sedan. If you have any kind of 4x4 or car with some clearance you'll be fine.
There are neighbors nearby, the lake was calm but I could see it being louder in the warmer season with boats and the like. But this campsite is great, and big enough to accommodate multiple tents.
