Our trailer fit in perfectly creating a little hideaway where we could have a forest view all to ourselves, while being just a short walk to the lake!

Site 27 says pull through. You probably can with a 20 ft camper but anything longer will give you trouble. It is also full sun in the heat of the day. Nice camp ground, and well maintained. Boat ramp and beach are both close.

Site was level and easy to get to. We were in the upper campground and it was like having a private loop. Restrooms were clean and we were close enough to restaurants and gas stations to eat out or get whatever we might have forgotten .
