We just stayed a night, nice facilities, quiet. Great path around the lake for walking or riding a bicycle. The tent pads drain well. Will come back!

The spots were nice. Gave 3 stars because bath house was worst we have seen. Plumbing was clogged and bath house was filthy. Guardians dropped off unsupervised young teenage tent campers across from us and we were uncomfotable for them and us.
Never saw the host the 2 nights we were there. Beautiful lake and hiking was awesome.
Planning to go again.

Wonderful smaller campground. Great sites and great views of the lake. All sites are well maintained and dry. Great hiking trails around the lake and through the woods, all accessible right from the campground.
