Site 5 was raining acorns this time so I moved, otherwise the campground is wonderful, the other campers quiet and enjoying a well cared for environment. The swimming is fantastic, the bathhouses spotless too. Some cell service too. The staff can’t change sites locally and the call center said they couldn’t either which makes no sense since the rules say they can for a reason that’s beyond anyone’s control. I hope that’s fixed.

Host was very welcoming. Site 73 is tucked away in the trees which kept the tent nice and cool in the shade. Plenty of options to hang hammocks. We encountered some annoying noise pollution from the next loop over with someone running a pulsing generator, however I know that's just bad luck. Bathrooms are close (and were very clean) but didn't feel we had light pollution from them which was great. Enjoyed the hiking trails and kayaking on the lake. Overall, wonderful stay!

Easy to book, find, and enjoy riding the trails by mtn bike. Campsite had everything needed, with expected natural characteristics of wear. CLEAN bathroom and shower with nice hot water. Private, especially Sunday night! Love the lake access from our site to swim, SUP, kayak.

The campground was well cared for, clean, bathhouses clean, showers warm/not too hot. The view of the lake beautiful. Campers were quiet and friendly. The host was discrete in checking on things. The swim area had showers inside and out and was welcoming to very small children in shallow areas up to deep water swimming. There were signs of civilization, few stores, no restaurants or sources of packaged food. Bring it all. This place is for active happy people who don’t sit around. Bikers, hikers, kayakers, walkers, and swimmers. No commercialized golf carts or much of anything motorized.
