The ppl next to us had dogs that kept coming over to are campsite and running at us causing my dogs that were probably chained up to try to protect us and we asked them multiple times to keep there dogs on their own site and was completely disrespectful about it and continued to let them come over and stayed up till 2am screaming and drinking if you can’t follow the rules and keep ur untrained dogs on a leash don’t bring them it ruins the experience for everybody else or buy a 10$ chain from Walmart and if u can’t afford that then you shouldn’t be buying a 20$/night camp spot

Great campground, not to busy. We were fishing. Campground has a nice boat ramp. Campsites are nice and clean.

I am deployed and I never camp there. I couldn't get a refund, even through I was activated, so I don't think my experience was all that great.

Our spot was perfect. We had lake access, lots of space, bathroom close by, trees and the picnic tables are great.

Really nice clean and well-maintained camp sites. Host was amazing! Cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen. We had rain all weekend so we never got to ride the newly maintained SXS trails, and we ended up leaving a day early. The Steak House across the lake had the best steaks we have ever had! Highly recommend!
