Camp Host was great. Was able to shift sites when the one I selected was too short due to concrete picnic table.

Love this place. It is normally peaceful and that makes for a great stay. There is a trail around the lake on which we enjoy riding our bikes. Cell coverage is weak but with my Verizon we could stream without a lot of problems. I guess the only issue I have is with the folks they have contracted to mow the grass. The last few times I have stayed here the grass has been up way too high. I also watched a guy mow the grass next to my campsite; you couldn't tell he had cut it. I said something about it and with a slight attitude, he trimmed it again and did it right. Campers shouldn't have to ask the folks mowing to do it again.

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.

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!
