Nice camping site, although we found a large branch along side our truck in the morning. No strom the night before. I will be looking for hazards like this before setting up in the future.

The experience was good, but we had someone riding by and threatening our children.

The water had no pressure, just a trickle out of faucet which didn't allow us to use the water hookup. No person on-site in which to report this issue. The site was total sun, no shade. There was a lot of garbage near the back of the site.

Everything went very smooth and the site was just right. My husband did fall due to the high edge of the pad compared to the ground level. He hit a elbow on the pad and I took care of it with our first aid kit. Maybe you could make the two levels equal especially where the picnic table is. Other than that everything went very well and it fit our needs for this trip very well. We will be back in May for graduation of granddaughter. Thank you

Nice park. Mowed well. Families making a little noise with kids running around but nothing obnoxious. Very easy to maneuver with our 22’ trailer. Only bad thing was getting woke up by hunters shooting and bad duck calls!

Quiet and peaceful setting. Bathrooms and showers could use an upgrade but adequate. Easy to book and easy to find.

Very nice sites, long and level. Power is good. Unfortunately there is no lake for the near future. We did not use the bathhouses so cannot rate them. We would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay. Campground is well maintained and showers were clean with lots of water pressure and hot water. Only thing I would change is the shower heads are short and mounted really close to the wall. We had to stand too close to the wall to be under the water. I also wish there was a gate attendant. Lake level was really low and I hope one day it will be full again. This will be a busy park again when that happens.
