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.

Awesome stalls, easy to back in, only wish it wasn't at one end of the trail system.

Nice little campground, weekend we were there park mostly empty, would be nice with full hookups, still did not take away from having a nice time.
