We always enjoy our stays here. Nice lake access, good, clean showers, friendly hosts. Traffic coming in and out at all hours is a bit worrisome, though. Other than that, it’s always a pleasure to visit.

Love everything about this campground except one thing…the air conditioning in the restrooms was not working the entire time we were there and it was absolutely miserable it was so hot in there you’d be drenched in sweat after a cold shower. If the air was fixed in the restroom I would have given a 5 star rating.

A nice park with nice facilities. The booth is never open to check in/out, however. People come in and out of the park at all hours. Our campsite, B14, needs grass seed or sod. When it rains, it becomes a giant mudhole. The facilities are clean and excellent. The dump station is shaded,with working water, so that is a plus. We camp here frequently.

One of our favorite places to camp. Very nice, accessible showers, gorgeous views, friendly camp hosts, and quiet at night. What’s not to love?
