Picnic tables falling apart, arrived Sunday afternoon about 4:15 no parking pass to be found no park attendant to be found. Set up camp for the night sheriff came in and had to settle a dispute in a group of camp sites next to us. Got up next morning still could not find parking pass or any paperwork. Come back to camp site in afternoon,a storm blew in and blew away tent, canopy, tables, ice chest. Some one locked gate near dumpster. We cleaned up all the mess and never saw a gate attendant or a park ranger. We left as though we never were there will never go back.

This is a lovely facility but so many of the trees have died out near the water and never replaced. If you get one of these sites be sure to bring some type of shade with you. This is our favorite campground in our area and reserve 10 - 12 weekends a summer.
