Enjoyed our stay, except the weather! Joyce is great to work with- very helpful! Seemed to be quite a few no shows in the reserveable spots- a shame people don't cancel so someone else could enjoy it.

Very clean. Restrooms cleaned every morning. Our site had electric and water with black/grey water dump on site. I highly recommend if you are planning on bein in this area. Fishing was a bit slow but caught our share of Walleye. The boat launch is near the most popular Walleye hang outs.
