Such a pretty park! From where we were at we had a great view of the lake. So quiet, even during the day!.
The park was very well maintained, and the gate attendant very helpful!
I think we found a new favorite!!!

the sites were nice and for the most part level; Two problems (1)it would be nice if the individual the cleans the bathrooms (deep cleaning) would post some type of schedule so the campers could work around it as far as getting their showers taken. Also it would be nice when checking in if a large garbage bag could be handed out to the campers
