We had a fantastic weekend and loved the spot. It was private and quiet and there were a lot of birds nearby that were fun to watch. The campground was clean and we will be back!

Host is very friendly. Bathrooms an campsites are kept very well. Fresh water hookup by bathrooms. Got front view of the lake an sunset which made it even better. Very busy an packed on weekends, but during the week, it's peaceful an quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

We normally love this spot, we just picked the wrong weekend.
This is a great spot for fishing, my kids enjoyed it. We drove over to the lake to go swimming it was an easy drive. Kim's Marina is nearby for anything you may have forgotten to purchase! The Dam bar is close by, as well as a quick drive into York if you're looking for a restaurant.But the camp host that they have right now or not doing their job!!!!!

Beautiful campground! Nicely planned out. Quiet! Only drawback us the too deep speed dip as you drive near the boat trailer parking area to reach the waterside spots. Apparently MANY are unprepared for the depth as there are deep grooves in the cement. We had to replace a bracket on our hitch! We were going slow. Otherwise the speed dips do help to slow traffic through the campground. Nice boat launch area.
