Had a great time at the park and on the lake. Bathrooms were clean and the attendants were very helpful. Our original sites were canceled due to high water. But I was notified the week before and was able to get new sites. Hope to make it back again.

Sites 39 to 57 has a different entrance than the “main camp”. We had site 53 which was great but its tricky to back into. It also has a steep decline backing into 53 and I recommend that you remove your WDH to avoid excessive stress on your hitch. Its a scenic area, nice path to walk to the main camp and to the dam wall. I gave it a 4 star because the entrance to sites 39 to 57 is not marked (name or sign board) at all. Host was very helpful and took us to campsite 53.

From the moment we pulled in with the friendly check in with Sylest and Larry. Clean restrooms and showers. We were able to stay another night and moved down on the water. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend

The beach was not available like it was supposed to be disappointing my daughter. There was not an alert online letting me know.

We were in site 48 at the small end of the park, beautiful site lots of privacy and peace. Neighbors were friendly. Lots of mosquitos and they collected in the bathroom because it was the only cool spot. Only 1 of 4 bathrooms was open to use and it was coated in bugs, an easy fix if someone knows about it. No water access from this part of the park, there’s a walking trail but you can’t access the water unless you walk to the beach part of the park, better to drive down the main road to get there.

nice park, but the upper section has a lot of road noise. Hosts are super great.

Full hook ups are great, but road noise not so much. The park is always clean and the walking trails are second to none.

Really nice campground. The host did not provide a map, General location for dumpsters or where my campsite could be found and was also somewhat rude. This was a short encounter. Sandy beach was nice but extremely rude people- smoking right in front of our 1.5 year old and lighting cigarettes with the one currently in their mouth then simply letting the old lit cigarette float away in the lake right next to them. Gross and horrible to litter like that. Wish something could be done of people like that!
