Facilities and service was great, but there has to be something they can do about the mosquitoes. My time at the campground was spent in the tent or in the car, because I would be carried away and eaten if I spent more than a few minutes outside. They eat bug spray for breakfast. There's got to be a spray or something the campground can do.

I was there only one night but wish I’d had more time. You can fill your RV tank with pitable water available at the edge of the Visitor Center parking lot. My site was very private, surrounded by trees, and facing forest. There was a spacious area to the back of my site with a picnic table and fire ring. There was only one site in view from mine and it happened to be empty. It pretty much felt like O had the forest to myself which I loved!

Our site was spacious and private. The mosquitoes in June were horrible. On the third day of our seven day reservation we had a Tornado Warning with heavy rain. We left for home on that third day. Glad we did as a tornado saw sighted 30 miles from the campground. I tried to cancel the last 4 days but was unable to do so. We lost out on money and another party lost out on the beautiful weekend that followed the storm. We will try again in very early spring or in the Fall next year.

Beside being a beautiful campground, all of the host are amazing. They keep the grounds well maintained, and the bathrooms clean.

Lot #29 - Great location, caught Smallmouth from the lake just down the trail from my campsite! Bathrooms and showers were clean and very well maintained!

We stayed in site #24. Nice site. Private most of the sites are. The woods take away not all but part of the view. Bathrooms were fairly clean. Good showers. Would come again.

Beautiful location, private sites, great bathroom/shower buildings, friendly camp ground hosts who do well at keeping the grounds and buildings clean all add up to our “excellent” rating. Never mind the nightly loon calls and beautiful daytime birdsong.

Awesome campground! Nice and quiet despite our stay being on a Friday evening. I appreciated how clean the facilities were.
