Very nice campground ... quiet with well-spaced sites. Facilities were good and the fishing pond was a hidden gem we didn't realize was there at first.

Great place to camp. Only thing I would like to see is info on what the slope on the concrete pad is

We stayed at site 51 which had nice shade FHU and double wide new concrete pad so plenty of room to park. Looks like they just finished a major update to the campground and had resurfaced the roads too.

This was a great campsite. We picked it for its electricity hook up at the tent sites. Something JellyStone did not offer. My only complaint would be after spending the day at the beach we came back to the showers at the campground only to find out the water was excessively hot. By the time we had finished our showers we were drenched in sweat.

We enjoyed this park greatly. The sites were new with full hook ups. However, our first sight was listed as a severe grade which made it impossible for us to level our 30 ft RV. We even added a total of 40 blocks under the duelly back axle to bring it up high enough to try to be somewhere near level. We ended up having to cancel that reservation to move to a different site. That site was listed as a slight incline whereas we did still have to use blocks level. It was doable. The sites were large enough for the RV and an extra vehicle if we needed it. We wished we had been there at a time to be on the lake, but we did not have a boat with us.
There was one restroom facility within the campground, which was kept clean.

Clean, newly poured slab and new asphalt roads. Our spot was separated enough from others that we did not feel cramped. Only issue is power surges. Use your surge protector. Ours worked flawlessly.
