Great campsite, full hookups but in 2 weeks didn't see 1 park ranger and with no hosts and to gate lots of traffic of non campers. Little signage so many campers driving around trying to find their site and speed limit was 5MPH which was a joke driviing way to fast thru park. And the biggest problem beach was closed and it has been for sometime but nothing on web site to indicate that until you turn onto park rd and see sign beach closed.

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!
