The swim beach area was not as well maintained as is has been in the past several years that I have stayed at this camp.

I wish there were fire pits in the day use area. I had to rent a campsite and only use it for a couple of hours.

Great campsites. Was a little to close to the loop entrance. Car noise and headlights. Will visit again.

Was very pleasantly surprised with this campground. Quirt, Lots of trees, well spaced camping spots, and lots of great areas to hike and walk along the water. You have to fill up your holding tanks with water since there’s no water at the sites but just a small inconvenience.

It was nice and clean and no one messed with you. People were friendly and when my car broke down I was able to receive help from fellow campers. Even though all I needed to do to fix my car was push a reset button.
