This was our first time at this campground and we were very impressed. It was beautiful, clean, and quiet. The campsites are spacious and there is a lot of shade. We will definitely be back.

Check in was easy and campground staff were helpful and courteous. Campground was clean and well maintained. It was warm and everyone greatly appreciated being able to run generators. Will continue to come back and tell others how great it is.

Beautiful campgrounds. Only issue was the cleanliness of the showers. It said that they were closed from 4-6pm for cleaning. So I went about 615 pm. Standing water on the floor, soap mess on the sinks, really poor cleaning job all around. Very disappointed!

The rules for quiet after 10 o’clock are not being enforced. Generators are to be turned off at 10 PM and we had a very inconsiderate camper who ran their generator in a no Electric area where primarily, people were in tents. We left one day early. It was like sleeping with a turbine, running 10 ft away. I am so sorry that this is happening because cross Lake recreation area is one of my favorite places.
