Love this place. Good size lots, easy access. Bathrooms clean. Well taken care of. Remember if you are going here (2024) the lake is now a river because of dam problems, maybe years before fixed

Our campsite had very recently been renovated to include electricity, fresh water, and direct access to a sewer connection. The site was clean, level, and easy to navigate into. The amenities were all in good condition and the park was very clean. We hope to return in the future and camp closer to the lake shore.

Dog feces and beer bottle caps on our site 18 when we arrived had a negative influence on our appreciation for this place. Campground has good potential, but needs attention to detail by staff. And needs staff, too, as none appeared to be present during our stay, although the bath houses were clean.
