Love the campground. Just wish that there was more tree shade in the sites near the water. We have 2 jetskis and access to water is easy.

I enjoyed our stay there, peaceful at night, we were able to look up at the stars with a cool breeze. Campsite was clean and neat and ready to go when you showed up. Tell you the truth we miss it, can't wait to get back out there!!

P.S. you get up early enough you can see the wildlife playing in the area.

It was enjoyable, but we left a day early because of the extreme heat. Of course you have no control over the weather.

Was very upset that we had no water for three days. They should’ve let us know before we came and given us a choice to reschedule when you have a baby it’s hard not to have water.

Seeing the bald eagles and their nests was amazing. Wish there were more trees at the lakeside sites. Temperature was way too hot but was a great time on the water.

Great place to go. But to many free dogs running loose. Not on leashes. Otherwise it’s a great place to go camping.
