We stayed at campsite 5, Juno loop with a 20' camper trailer.
Pros:
The trailer pad was quite level which is a nice plus.
Reasonable site spacing and decent views despite the lake not being in view.
Very friendly and helpful camp host.
The bike trip across the damn was a unique and interesting ride.
The beach area is a plus and great for a beach excursion.
A very good value.
The no wake rule for the lake was a nice touch making things very peaceful.
The 2:00pm check-in and check-out time was unusual but I liked it.
Cons:
The water hookup was way too far away from the trailer pad requiring a longer hose than most people carry.

Very friendly and competent campground hosts. Great level sites on the non-electric spaces; did see some full electric RV's using their leveling jacks....
One suggestion: the "checkout time 2:00" needs to be emphasized on the website and the check-in handout. I came in at about 1:30 and my reserved site was occupied so with the approval of the camp host I just stayed in another empty non-electric site. Good thing because the 'over stayer" in my site didn't depart until the following day! Then on my departure date, a got a knock on my door at 10:30 am that i was in "their" space. I reminded them about the 2:00 checkout time and they said they'd never heard about it.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
