Not my first time to rent. We have our annual Easter family get together here. Facility was very clean as always. Just exactly the setup we need. Only issue, mother nature decided we needed rain...........lots of rain...........Thank goodness we had this shelter! We did have issue with run off rain running in but nothing could have changed that........mega rain over long period of time. Will continue to rent Easter and any other time we might have need. Highly recommend! Scenery, view of lake, location, so many activities available for young and old - you will not find better! And rental price is very fair.

We had site 18 with a good view of the lake. We walked on the path around the lake and it was nice. The only drawback about our stay was the horseflies!

Beautiful, well maintained park and campground with playground and swim beach.. Plenty of shade. Disc golf course is for experts and could benefit from restructuring for the general public and maintenance. Doesn’t look like it is played often. Could use signage to get from hole to hole. Biking trails seem to be well maintained. Some hiking trails could use clearing. Boat ramps and piers are nice. Wonderful campground host. We really enjoyed our stay.
