The steps going to the lake at this camp site are very difficult. We had an injury because of the unsteady steps. Also, the out house was not pumped and was extremely full.

Great location! The campsite is close enough to the water to get some incredible scenic views but sits just far enough away that you aren't being swarmed by mosquitoes all day. This site has a wonderfully secluded feel to it. The provided fire pit, picnic table, and bathroom hut are all well maintained and ready to use!

I love the campsite, but the steps going down to the lake are getting dangerous.

Poor fishing, the lake is full of eurasian watermilfoil. Which has effected the fish habitat. Only caught small pike,bass,and bluegill.
No walleye, even though it was supposed to have been stocked.

We just had a lot of rainy weather. Otherwise the campsite is big for kids to play games or ball. Trails for side x side.They should be made flat and closer together so kids and older people can get down without help. A rail would be helpful to
