The staff was very nice, the site and entire campsite was very clean, and the lake was so refreshing on a hot summer day.

Nice campsites but they do not monitor who comes and goes so lot of cars parked in grass and all around so feels cluttered and not very secluded.

We had a great time! Lots of things to do on the water and best of all a great place to just relax and enjoy nature.

Nice sites, pretty good distance between. Campers should be prohibited from burning plastic (cans, foil, butts)in fire rings. It’s really bad to breathe and ‘every’ site we looked at had trash in the ring.
