Pleasant camping area. We love this car camping recreation area as it’s a couple hours away and have returned year after year. Lots of trees which make it cooler for the daytime. Plenty of trails nearby. A lake to paddle and swim in. Sure wish there were no motored watercraft allowed in this cove.
Issues that should be addressed; Some of the bathrooms need repair. Too many invasive plants taking over.
Common courtesy for all campers;
~Be respectful of others. Screaming children don’t make a peaceful experience. There are outside voices and there are “ come get me, I’m in peril” voices. We are not at a ball game a bullfight or a cage match. Teach your children they don’t have to holler all their waking hours.
~Adults, why does your conversation get louder as the sun goes down and you are sitting around a hot (in the summer!) campfire? Jesus!
~Don’t bring your dog if you cannot control their constant barking! Please keep them leashed.
~Running your car to charge your devices pollutes the air of everyone around you. Stay off your device, you are at a lovely lake and in nature, soak it in! Or bring a charger.
~No one wants to hear the loud music you are playing expect you! Lower the volume!
~Don’t throw your garbage in the bathroom trash cans. Bring your own trash bags. There are dumpsters available on the main road.
~Please don’t throw your leftover food in the woods around your campsite. Others are renting the space after you and no one enjoys leftover food in the woods, except varmints.
~There is a ten o’clock curfew. Quiet down and please don’t run your generator (your music or your mouth) Most of us come to relax and leave the noise of the city behind.
~It’s Mother Nature, show her some respect and love.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. My family and I camp here every year. We always get a different campsite and it is always a good campsite. My favorite thing to do is ride my mountain bike on the trails.

This camp site as of 5/25 needs improvement. Tent pad is old and slanted, picnic table is concrete , not level and was in a mud puddle. Needs a revamp like the campsite next to this one.

Great location for a group camping trip. My only complaints are not taking care of poison ivy right next to tent pads and the hand dryer in the men's bathroom in loop C has never worked in the almost 15 years I've been visiting.

Beautiful location, lake access, tons of free range kids that roam around and entertain your kids, mountain bike trails -- what more could you ask for?
