Review Summary

This is actually a nice campground. The sites are level and far enough apart to provide good elbow room. However, the water situation is very poor. The pump that supplies water to the campsites failed and we were left without any water. To include no water in the restrooms and showers. In talking to some long term campers we were told it is a common occurrence to have the pump fail and to have no water for a day or two. They compensate by holding water in their freshwater tanks. Word to the wise if you plan on camping here.

We stayed here for two weeks on site 83. The site is a good site but during the cold weather the water froze because the hydrant is not for cold weather. We had water in our tank to use until the weather warmed up some.

Nice Campground. Pretty empty while we were there. Camp host was friendly and helpful. Facilities were clean and renovated. We had a site across from the lake and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. We were able to gather some wood behind our site for a nice campfire.
