I had to point out the recent bad review was when the campgrounds were being closed due to Covid-19 virus. I would guess that person was upset about the closing and blamed the staff for doing their jobs. I've always found the campground hosts to be very friendly and helpful.This is a beautiful campground and is a real pleasure to stay here.

The park personnel could not have been nicer. The gate people are a professional, efficient, and friendly and eager to help in any way. There needs to be some brush and limbs cleaned up. If there was a view of the water it would increase the enjoy-ability of our stay. All sites should be available to reserve so everyone has a chance at the sewer sites. This works fine at other parks around the state, so we will reserve months out. More sewer sites would eliminate this issue. I would pay a premium for a weekend spot with a sewer connection. thanks
