Nice campground, very woodsy. Our site felt secluded and private. Fairly level which was important since we were traveling and didn't want to unhook from the truck for overnight.

Very nice quiet campground, I love all the trees, I only have a small RV so getting around the tiny roads and turns were fine for me, maybe a bit hard for big rigs. I will be back, hopefully get a spot closer to the water next time.
Staff were really friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great relaxing time!

Nice facility! Sites 3 and 17 were nice and private. Great views at 17 but 3 much closer to shower house. If Bushwacker trail is closed just hike the Disc Golf course for some great exercise (disc optional).

Sites are level. Bath house is clean. Challenging golf disc course. On a large and beautiful reservoir with plenty of boat and trailer parking. Nice playground for kids. Steep inclines can be daunting to RVers not used to hills.
