It was an enjoyable two nights stay. My RV site was clean and fairly level. However, I did not see a Ranger present during my visit to report a potential hazard. Please have the maintenance workers remove some broken limbs that were still lodged in the tree above my site. They could seriously hurt someone or damage an RV. Please address this hazard quickly.
I stayed the weekend of December 2nd 2022 in a 36β motorhome in site #8 and will return again.

This place is beautiful! The sunrise over the lake was awesome, the forests remain and enhance the natural beauty and the sites are spacious as well as clean.
Unfortunately there are no drive through sites and the road is fairly narrow making backing into a site more difficult.

Nice campground. Full water,sewer, electric hookups. Campsites are spaced so you have plenty of room between sites. Lots of trees and wooded area. Many sites had lake view. Bathrooms/showers were clean. Nice flat winding paved road was great for long walks and plenty of room for bike rides. Good for tents, any size travel trailers and RVs. Very safe, secluded and quiet campground but only 15 minute drive to nearby town with restaurants and shopping. Lake fishing for those with boats. Canβt wait for our next trip here.

We stayed here for while my husband was working. It was beautiful! Nice and quiet! The water is pretty low but it was still very nice!! The only negative I might have would be that you can only stay14 days at a time. We had to move to another location on the lake. And will have to move again. But the next other campground is awesome too!!

The park itself was wonderful, but there was someone in our reserved site. Another camper said that they thought they had been moving site to site for the past three days. The sheriff said they could stay in our spot. It took an hour and a half after we came to the park for us to find a suitable spot that would work with our internet service for my husbandβs work. By this time, it was after dark, and the temperatures were dropping toward freezing. My husband busted his hand setting up in the dark, and I wrenched my back. I left a message for park manager, but she never returned my call.
