The caretakers were present and available when we ran into an issue with the breaker. The lots are level and required no leveling for our camper. Loved the built in fire pit! Will definitely be staying here again!

Upgrades to this campground are amazing! #37 is a double parking space. The rooms was fantastic. The firepit location was a nice touch. Shower house was clean. The lake and the trails were in great shape too!

Love the new full hookups and the concrete pads. Now just need the widen and replace the roadways. There are still some trees in the loop circles that need to be cut up higher and back away from hanging over the roads or edges of the road. But THANK YOU for the amazing new sites!
NOW if we could only get WIFI because regular cell service SUCKS! Never had more than 1 bar on LTE

This was a super nice place! All the sites that we were able to see including ours was super clean and flat. Facilities were clean and in working order. Couple of cool features is its archery ranges regular target range and a 3d target range. Also had a very nice fishing pond and several stalls for horses for those who travel with them. Also, just across the dam is a park on the south side that had a shooting range for hand guns and long rifles. So cool to have open ranges (there is a kiosk for paying, and pleas do). Overall rating a 5!!!

It was our first time camping here, and we loved our experience. The new concrete drives and pads were amazing. Super clean and quiet. We loved having the private lake to fish and the target shooting range. We will be back!
