The sites were great, plenty of trees to provide decent privacy from your neighbors. You can hear people (boats, music, etc.) out on the lake from your site.

Campsite was nice, had a large level tent pad, poles for hanging garbage bags, a big picnic table and a pretty good sized fire ring. Our site was right on the water, Number 09, so we had easy access to the water which was great. Showers and bathrooms were sufficient. The lake was very nice, even with the motorboat traffic the waters were really calm. Only downside was the group camping, or actually RVing at the site next to ours, Number 07 I believe. They were friendly enough. But they ran there gas generator THE ENTIRE DAY!!! Only time they shut it off was during quiet hours, 2200-0600. It was not very peaceful to wake up to that thing each morning and have it drown out the sounds of nature all day. We had to play music at a fairly high volume to not hear it.
