Even though I was about 400 ft from the lake, I had good views. It was easy to locate my site and to back in. i wish the site had a wader driveway. some nearby sites had more room on their sites. the reserve process was seemless!

My husband and I enjoyed it very much. I was disappointed that all of the swimming areas seem to be closed at all of the parks. I don't really understand why that is. But overall, it was beautiful and quiet.

Camping was great at Site 70. Showers in bath houses need to be cleaned.

If you are looking for a very quiet campground, this is it. It has nice lake views. We stayed in site #18 and it had a nice lake view and was very quiet. The concrete pad was very level and it was walking distance to the shower house. Check in time is kind of late being 4:00pm. Cell phone coverage for T-Mobile was good (5G - 5 bars).

We were in #15. It was fine until it rained. Our parking pad was built up slightly and it got muddy and slippery for us as we tried to pack up to leave. Campground was nice enough and we found a path to the beach so we were able to do some fishing. We will be back.

Lake is beautiful , facilities are great, we stay here a lot. I will bring my weed eater next time. Could use a bit of maintenance. We still live the place.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. However the lack of park staff was not good. Would like to see the grass cut lower and more often. The day use area was unkept and overgrown. Not good!
