Sites clean, well kept but one has to fight weeds and tall grass to get close to the water. More attention was paid to freezbie golf course then to lake view. Not small boat friendly.

Site B44 needs drainage. We experienced a big rainfall and our campsite held the water. Others did not. We left a day early.

It was great. Due to late check in we had to reserve the night before so we could check in earlier to enjoy the day.
