Showed up to our reservation and there was a controlled burn going on. Nobody contacted us to let us know. Embers falling everywhere and the whole entire forest/campground on fire. We drove our 40ft 5th wheel, 6 hrs to get here on our journey to our destination. Had to turn and drive another hour to a different location after being exhausted, who the hosts saved our lives and accommodated us quickly. You'd think someone would have contacted us to let us know. Still haven't one been contacted 1 month later. Terrible customer service and would not recommend this place to anyone.

We had a great time staying in this area. Even had enough AT&T service to win a whatnot auction.

The campground is old and mostly primitive sites. You can tell the campground manager is working to improve the camper sites. The bathhouse is old and not super clean but had hot water for my shower. The trail around the lake is serene.

We did not stay. The park was run down and in disrepair. There were park hosts on site but the restroom and showers had not been taken care of for some time.

Nice quiet campground, water and electric hookups, heavy forest and picturesque lake. Friendly campground host. Shower and restrooms, washer and dryer. Roads were once paved but are in very poor condition now.
