The campground was in a great location! Away from the main roads and right next to a beautiful lake!

Unfortunately, someone else was in our reserved site when we had arrived. We were able to find a vacant site, that actually had more privacy, so we didn't make a big deal about it. Additionally, we visited the camp host's site during their posted business hours, but they did not respond to our repeated knocks on the door. Overall though, it was a good experience. Clean, comfortable campground with great views!
