First visit here since 2018. The campground was freshly mowed. Our site 24 was comfortable for our 5 nite stay. We had a good view of the lake. The bath house was very clean. We hope to return in the spring.

nothing to say but pleasure. clean location. the staff made a lot of effort to understand me (I am French-speaking) and fully answered questions. the only problem that isn't the fault of the park is that some dog owners don't pick up the feces. I recommend this park.

Campsite was good. Spacious. The beach was very dirty and lots of broken glass and trash and unmowed grass

We have 2 doggies, so it was not very welcoming with the grass at that height. That made it look like the park was neglected.
