Lovely camp sites. Spaced apart nicely. Enjoyed the 18 hole disc golf course. Would have 5 starts but the showers are not good at all. Water splashes everywhere out side the shower because nozzles spray so hard and cannot adjust the aim so all the water runs out of the shower to the changing area which is flooded and cramped. Need to build new restroom and shower house.

We wanted to stay for one night (Saturday), but had to make a three day reservation because it was Columbus Day weekend. There were over 50% of the sites available, and the weekend had already started. Although I understand the policy for advance reservations, once the weekend has started, the requirement should be dropped. We made the 3-day reservation after arrival and talking to the campground hosts, who could not help us with a single night. They even called someone at Recreation.gov who could not override the system. Anyway, the campground hosts were great! And we enjoyed our one night.

This was a beautiful lake and the campsite are very nice and spacious. This place is very well taken care of and the camp host was warm and inviting. We had a peaceful and relaxing time . We have decided that this is our favorite place and will be going back for many more times to come.
