This newly renovated campground still needs a lot of work. They have a lot to offer. I was surprised by the archery range, we would’ve taken our bows. They even have a 3-D set up.
They have a pond, I caught the largest bluegill I have ever caught/released, at 1.41 lbs. Several were catching catfish. It’s very pretty. You can sit on a bench and just enjoy the scenery, or picnic. There is hiking trails and an equestrian campground.
The campground itself needs the work. The roads are understandable because they just put in full hook ups… They’ll get the roads paved eventually, not a dealbreaker! What was aggravating is, they have one shower house/parking at the beginning of the campground. Nothing at the other end. This is not a problem unless you have others joining you. You are not allowed to park on the grass… they are extremely strict about this. But if they are going to allow two structures, a camper and a tent or two tents, and up to eight people… Are all but two of these people children? I doubt it! We had adult children arriving several days after we did. We had two vehicles, because we pulled a boat… Hello there’s a huge lake, and the other vehicle triple-towed the camper/fishing kayak. When my adult children arrived, they had nowhere to park. We tried several ways and the Corp was not happy with it. The kids were in a tent and if they want to take a shower, they would jump in a vehicle and go up to the shower house, no big deal. But for parking and to use a bathroom, there wasn’t anything within walking distance. Some campers do not have bathrooms in them. So be prepared, if you don’t have a bathroom, make sure you bring a bucket…. especially for night time. There is plenty of room in the lower end of the campground, for these things to be built, so I hope they do!
The fire pit is level with the concrete pad, and poses a hazard, so beware.

The campground was very clean and the space between campsites was great! The camp host was friendly and was always around if we needed them. Beautiful campground!! We already have another trip booked there!😊

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
