There's a lot of potential with this campground, but it is in desperate need of maintenance. The road is in rough shape, the restrooms at the picnic area have a collapsed roof, and the bathhouse in the campground needed a good cleaning. The three stars are for the beautiful lake and quiet setting. I would probably try other campgrounds before returning here. (I drive a Sprinter Van, so I have no comments on site access...its all easy for me!)

If you are looking for a tidy park with water and electric hookups, this is not it. The park had an unkept appearance with lots of tall grass and downed trees. The spigot spewed brown water, so we were unable to connect to city water. The electric connections had reverse polarity with hot and neutral wires reversed. Thankfully our battery management system prevented us from connecting to bad power. We were disappointed in this National Forest campground. Not worth the drive off the interstate.

This campground was easy to find and well-maintained. It was very affordable, as well.

Our site was close to the dam, so it took us a while to get used to the sound of the water. The park is very clean and has a great fitness trail, which is in new condition and has many workout stations. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice quiet campground. Lots of walking possibilities and a well kept trail down by the lake. Campground roads are gravel and well kept. The host went out of his way to accommodate my schedule, he was on the ball!

I found the campsites to be well maintained and well designed. Mine had both electrical and water supplies specific to my site. It was also nice that there was an abundance of free firewood. I also found the lake and small island just offshore to be very scenic.

Great little lake campground. We were the only ones in the park. Too bad we couldn't have gotten another spot because they all say they are booked but they aren't. Absolutely no one except the camp host was there, yet only 2 sites were available to book
