Wonderful, clean site! Clean restrooms. Felt safe. Grateful for a campsite right next to the water so we could sit in our camping chairs and enjoy the sunset over the lake. Only issue we had was the noise from other campers after 11pm.

Campground was nice and quiet. The road in was kind of bumpy but ok. The camp host was great. He was very helpful and knew all about the the campground and surrounding areas..
A+ for the host.

We had #14 and we could drop our kayak in the lake from our site. It was a nice site on its own as well. The only thing I could complain about is the shower. It's funky how there are two spigots and they only stay on for a few seconds ( which is cool for waste purposes) but they don't sync up with the hot/cold together so it was a frustrating hair wash. It would be nice if there was water/electricity at the campsites, but if you bring a big jug of water for drinking and one with a spigot one for washing dishes, it's fine.

The location was nice! We wished there was a swimming area explicitly, but we made do by finding a place we could hop in & cool down. The campgrounds are a bit close to one another, but there is sufficient coverage between sites so you're not *staring* at one another. I think having a lakeside campground would have been beyond excellent! But alas we had an inner campground.
