Beautiful place to camp. Lots of shade trees, easy to park. Usually pretty quiet and the Joyce the attendee is so nice and helpful.. Only draw back is the pea gravel pads, but just we just learn to take the shoes off and vacuum often. The lake view from the camper is wonderful ..My favorite place to stay..
