My family and I came here during Memorial weekend. It was the best spot in my opinion since you had the best view. I do want to say however, that the picture is not entirely true. You WILL NOT have shade. When we got there we were expected to have a roof as shown in the picture but there was not. So please be aware that this site has NO SHADE and there are no trees surrounding the site. Other than that we really enjoyed the ferry ride over to the other side. Ferry is completely FREE.

Bathrooms were clean. Not advisable to camp near the boat access (A loop) if you are a late sleeper/ sensitive to noise. Very noisy early in the morning. Started just before 6am. Lake view was lovely though!

We always have a great time. Grounds are always clean and neat. Bathrooms and showers clean, need some kind of rack inside shower to place stuff on. Overall it's perfect place to enjoy a getaway.
