Its better to not say how great this place is as we want to keep it to ourselves. Lake side sites, fishing, clean, bathrooms and drinking water...what more do you need.

Beautiful site and easy to find. It was great having the hiking trail go right through the camping area. The only reason a 4 star as opposed to a 5 star; the bathrooms were not clean.

Campsite was nice with view and access to the lake. The bathrooms are only cleaned every four days and after a busy weekend lets just say it the bathrooms and showers weren't pretty. The host rarely if ever left his camper to make sure things were tidy and TP replenished. Overall the site 011 was roomy was awesome lake access!

The people at site 31 drank alcohol and stayed up until 2:30 a m. Saturday night/Sunday morning being so loud and cussing that they kept us awake. They neglected to keep their dogs on leash so the dogs were roaming freely through the campground. We had no phone number to report them except 911 but it wasn't that type of emergency. We would like someone to have come through the campground after quiet hours at least once to ensure rules were being obeyed.
