It is a beautiful location and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! There’s a beach area on site as well as a golf course within 5 miles.

Sites are well camouflaged with shrubs in between for privacy and a nice shelter, yet because of the low cost, I had the unfortunate experience of watching a couple camping out of their car, using a short household electric cord to illuminate the inside. Unfortunately, because of the short cord, they brushed their teeth and washed up right next to the plug, away from the lovely shelter and the wonderful shrubs. The experience made for the most uncomfortable stay at a COE campground. I had to turn on all my outside lights to give the hint that they were annoying with the mechanic's light they were using. Everyone should be able to use the campground, but some respect for your neighbors is always good.
Great view of the lake, lots of places for a nice walk.

We reserved a site near the bathroom but when we got there the bathroom was closed and there was no notice on the reservation site!! We were told that bathroom had been closed for 2 years! There were several bathrooms within driving range that were filthy and had prison metal toilets with no seats!!! Netflix was filming & beach areas were closed to the public with no notice. The host said he didn’t even know..they just showed up.

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.
