The park is a wonderful wooded area with paved campsites and 50 amp service. They also have a Dump Station and trash dumpsters. A short hike will take you down to the lake. I spent two nights there and with only one other family in the campground is was so peaceful and quiet. I will definitely keep this as one of my goto campgrounds as I tranvers the country.

The majority of the sites in our loop were very sloped. It made it quite difficult to level front to back. We did not unhook because our site was so bad we were afraid of rolling backwards even with chocks behind the tires! This should be stated in the site description. We will not return.
