We enjoyed our stay! The site was big enough for us and our two dogs to all be outside together. We enjoyed the path that lead from our site to the lake. It was nicely mowed and went all the way down to the lake and followed it around. The campground is quiet; no road noise. We truly felt like we were away from it all.

Went camping in the middle of the week and it was so peaceful. Only one other camper there. the only problem was the fish weren't biting very good. But still a great time.

The campground was peaceful and clean. The lake was a dream to kayak and with two swimming areas and fishing areas, it was a winning weekend.
