Another great COE campground with water and power hookups, groomed and well spaced sites. Ours backed up to a forest full of birds.

Always love this campground. Bathhouse/shower very clean, take a fan in the summer to keep air moving, a little hot in there but the hot shower, clean facility and tp provided out weigh any air flow problems. Campgrounds clean, beach area wonderful, lake was great swimming when we boated to underground beach. New bathroom facility at beach area was great. Check in staff excellent and very nice. 5 stars! Always.

The grounds were well kept! Hosts were great and personable! Walking distance to lake and outdoor activities. Pulled 42’ Fifth Wheel through Upper Loop with no issues. Would recommend to family and friends.

I know a lot of people had great experiences here but our experience was just okay. We arrived on Monday afternoon and stayed through Thursday. Check in was easy and the hosts were very nice. When we got to our campsite the fire ring was filled with half burnt trash including broken glass, tuna fish cans and other fly-attracting food. Yuck.
The beach and our campsite were covered in cigarette butts, it was quite disappointing. The lake had good fishing but the swimming was marginal and water was murky.
The sites did have good shade and good privacy. Bathrooms were good, but getting low on TP come Wednesday morning. Could use some attention after the weekend campers.
Overall just okay, we probably won’t return.

This was a full hookup site. We were in the upper campground and it was very quiet. The trees block most of the lake view but you can still see some of the lake through the trees. The campground hosts were very friendly.
