Having water, sewer and electric at a site is a plus that most camp grounds don't have. This is a very appreciated accommodation.

Very nice and clean facilities. The park attendant was very friendly. Camp site was clean and had a great view of the lake. The kids really enjoyed riding their bikes down the trail. Hope to visit again soon.

What a stunning campsite! We absolutely loved the campground. We were there for Christmas and it was cold but we had no problems with our full hookups. Wooded sites with a view of the lake. The sunsets were amazing. We would definitely love to visit again. Highly recommend!

Easy park. This site is along the road. About a 1/4 mile walk to BBQ and c-store. Host was nice. Beautiful place to watch sunset over water.

Even though it was cool, the camp site was really in good shape. The host was very friendly and helpful about scheduling other trips.
