Generous sites and beautiful views. We picked a site close to the bathhouse, and most sites in our area were close and accessible to the it anyway.
Bathhouse is dated, and clean. Toilet paper needed refreshing when we arrived on a Sunday afternoon. Would recommend trying for a lake side site and we will recommend to our camper association for a group event.

We've stayed twice. The 1st time it was an incredible experience. Everyone was friendly, the park looked gorgeous even though the water was very high due to recent rains. We returned a little more than 2 weeks later (6/24) and the grass has obviously not been mowed since before 6/8. The grass and weeds throughout the park is over a foot tall and visitors are bringing their personal mowers to mow their sites to make them usable. This is unacceptable for ANY campground and potentially unsafe due to incursions of insects, snakes and other wildlife.

Perfect spot right in the water, it doesn’t get any better than this. Peaceful piece of paradise:-)

The park was better than we expected. Trees & shrubs had been thinned out and offered more security because we had a panoramic view of several sites. WE LOVED the full-hookup & it makes the park a new favorite for us.

Tent camper from a motorcycle here. The bath house was perfectly fine. Extremely quiet, almost deserted-feeling. I didn't speak one word to a single person the whole time, that's how little contact there was. NO WIFI, NO CELL SIGNAL. I was glad I brought a book. Bring insect repellant!

The sites are not labeled correctly on Recreation.gov or google. We were in site 26 that was listed 24. There is no check in booth and beach was closed. The picture of some sites listed of recreation.gov are either old or incorrect. We had little shade and are disappointed that something as simple as labeling sites and providing accurate pictures is not being done at this campground. Campsite was quiet at night and many people appear to live at the campground, rotating in and out as required.
