We had an excellent time there, however, the reviews i thought i had read stated that there was cell service. There was not. That was absolutely fine except i wish i would have known and could have downloaded some maps. Also, we didn't have any luck fishing, I believe that lake has been fished dry. Thanks for the good times though. We had a fun weekend canoeing and relaxing.

Campground is nice. Not too big. Not too small. Great beach area and facilities. The best part about the campground was the hosts. Annie and Kevin really take care of the place and the guests.

Such an amazing campsite! The park was so clean (even the vault toilet!) ! The park ranger left us a bunch of firewood for free. My husband and I had very relaxing weekend away from the cities. We will definitely be returning in the future!

The grounds and sites are kept in such wonderful condition. The beach was pristine. The hosts were very accommodating for our family as we had late arrivals with staggering arrival dates. Our family will be back! Thank you!

General
- Some campsites are available for long-term occupancy; contact the project office for information
- Two pets per site
- No switching sites upon arrival
- Please Note: One RV with tow vehicle per single site or one vehicle per tent site. Most sites can accommodate 1 extra vehicle that is not included with the reservation fee. Extra vehicle will be charged a per night fee and collected at the campground.
- Reserved Sites will be held until the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of the second day to hold a reservation or the site will be forfeited and released to other guests.
- Once your reservation start date has begun, neither the Recreation.gov Contact Center nor the campground manager will be able to modify your reservation.
- Refunds: Refund requests made through www.recreation.gov will be charged a $10 processing fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).
- Don't move firewood: To limit the spread of invasive tree-killing pests, firewood from outside the area is not permitted. Some states have quarantines and may confiscate your firewood. Please help protect our forests from invasive species by obtaining your firewood at or near your camping destination and burning it on-site. Visit dontmovefirewood.org for more information.
