This campground has such potential, the sites were good size , ours was not very level. The roads in and sites would benefit from grading. The lake was pretty . Most disappointing was the upkeep. Grass was knee high in some areas , fire pits were not cleaned out and site reservations slips were on pedestals 2 days past .
Our post was marked A28P our reservation site was A28A . After driving around we went back to the host and he stated they were one and the same why add an extra level of confusion?
T mobile and antenna TV were good
Please cleanup this little gem
Also , reservation time was good , not the 6 pm as at some parks lately

Looks pretty to drive by but is NOT pretty to stay. The grass is not kept up and the ground is just a wild mess of ticks and TONS of ANTS. SO many ants we had to go buy ant spray just to keep them from invading us after the first night (literally hundreds were crawling all over our tent) it was a nightmare. The ground is SOOO rocky good luck with your stakes for tents. It just feels dirty. I will never stay at this campground again. And when I was down by the water, all the sudden there was like a thousand bees next to me, I was like, "SERIOUSLY?" The only good thing was I saw a bald eagle up close, so that was cool.
