Campground host was great, friendly, and attentive. When we arrived, we found that someone had taken our assigned spot. They had their whole camp set up so we were reluctant to insist that they move. Host found us a different site that was just fine. If you camp here, I suggest you bring your bikes. Easy trail, mostly paved, goes all the way to the east shore. Make sure to pack warm clothes. We were there middle of September. It rained and snowed (beautiful but cold). The campground was in great shape, clean, bathrooms were cleaned every day. Great experience.
