Highly recommend this campground. The sites are spaciously spread out, so you aren't right on top of your neighbor. The sand was raked at our campsite when we showed up Nice work campground staff! Went swimming at the beach which was just a short walk from the campsite. The sand was nice and the beach was barricaded so boaters wouldn't come close. Nice picnic areas and a small playground. Did not launch a boat but the boat launch looked nice to use as well. Bathrooms were cleaned every day. Could not have a fire because of the current draught but had enough room on the campsite for a mid-size camper, two tents, and a screen net at night to get away from the bugs. Brought the two dogs as well and they had a great time.

Would stay here again!

Wonderfull place! We fished, camping was secluded in the beautiful forest! We didn’t swim but very nice beach for swimming! Campsites have lake view which we really liked! Will definitely come back next year! Easy access boat launch all within 2 minutes of each other!

This campground was unbelievably perfect. The beach was great and the sites are all very spacious. Each site is basically private and you are not on top of your neighbors. If you have Verizon service you will not have any while staying!! Was a great chance to just unplug and enjoy enjoy everything around you.

The other family with the 20' hard wall trailer had an outside gas generator that ran from morning 'till 7 pm. Couldn't hear any nature. Got the spot along the lake but there were too many boaters and gas sheen on the shoreline so can't swim. Park rules says that there should only be one vehicle per site but the same group of campers had two full size pickups crammed into one slot. Upside, park employees did a great job of cleaning the bathrooms.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Reserved sites are held until noon the day after arrival; occupancy is required by the second day to keep the reservation.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
