Nice park, however, no check-in, no park map and no indication of who the host is should a problem arise (which happened... power outage). A few simple steps, like a campground map and a host sign would be an improvement.

We were on a lovely waterfront site. The moonrise over the water was amazing. The site was level and nicely appointed as advertised. Wish we could have stayed more than 9ne night but we were on a schedule.

Very beautiful campground. The sites are huge compared to alot that I've stayed at. Only issue I have is the interactive campground map that we used for reservation is not accurate. We chose site 38 because it seems secluded and near the water...it's not. I should've looked into that further...so my bad. Will definitely visit again.

The campground is beautiful and the hosts are awesome. No fault of rec.gov or the campground, when we arrived there was someone on our site we had reserved. They said when they arrived the previous day, someone was on their site and a ‘lady’ on the phone told them to take the next available site. Well, our site was empty at the time but it was not available. The camp hosts, Phil & Jack, were 100% but we didn’t want to push the issue due to the fact the lady on our site was irate. We were offered another campsite but we chose to go eat and return home and plan for another day (we live in the area). We were given a complete refund. We look forward to returning to the campground and spending the night 😊

Great campground. We set up a tent on site 40 and it was perfect. Clean bathrooms, although there was no soap so bring your own.

We were at Site 33 and it was very nice. My only complaint was the distance from the pad to the dump station; at least 20 feet. The site has lots of poison ivy too.
