A very good place to camp.

Only complaints is that it's not ADA compatible and all the sites seem to be set up backwards away from the lake view

Full hook up was great and there was a nice view of the lake. It was a bit tricky to find the campground at night but that’s more of a GPS and signage issue. Overall very nice.

Very nice small campground. A little close to road traffic. Shower facility is very nice. Will came here again.

This was not what we expected. The "campground" is a parking lot between a busy street and a steep slope to a marina. Maybe if you are planning a long day on a boat, this would work for trailer/RV camping, but I would not have felt safe (let alone happy) tent camping with my wife and young kids here. We parked in our parking/camping spot only long enough to locate Ridge Campground across the lake. It was wooded, private, with lake views--just what we wanted.

Have stayed here twice now. Great campground. Stayed in a 33’ motorhome with toad and had plenty of space.

We enjoyed a three-night stay. Quiet during the weekdays and busy on the weekends. It was early in the season so there were fallen leaves collected around the sites and tall weeds but the site we had was level. The camp hosts were present and welcoming. No firewood at the campground but a gas station near town sold it for $3/bundle. We found a number of trails in the area.

Quick stay, but really wonderful. Very thankful for the attentiveness of the camp ground staff to address a recent rain event and it's impact on my reservation. Will visit again!
