#63 is a clean and nearly level basic campsite, lakeside, lots of different birds and some large fish playing in the shallows. Rocky shore with some brush (and ticks even on the gravel) so come with water shoes and bug spray! The big RVs were just across the little cove but they were quiet at night. Really not much shade in this spot mid April; if I had been staying on site throughout I'd have set up a tarp but I was visiting family in Greenfield so not much point. There was absolutely *no* cell coverage (Mint Mobile) inside the campground. Camping pass gives complimentary access to the beach area which was also clean.

One of my favorite campgrounds yet! Pad sites are awesome! Even though some don’t have much shade…it’s ok if you have an awning.
Attendant was nice and knowledgeable of the area.
Its quiet. The roads through the campground are good. Restrooms are clean.
Sites are decently spaced out. Each one has a fire pit.
Very well maintained.
